shark bite
Predator's jaw mark
A shark bite is a wound inflicted by a shark's teeth, typically during an attack on a swimmer or surfer.
The term extends to anything shaped like a semicircular bite mark: The vandal left a shark bite in the foam seat.
In bartending, a shark bite is a cocktail—usually rum-based with a float of grenadine suggesting blood in water.
