Shark found in gta3.img.

Sharks are animals that are believed to be in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. They are real-life sea creatures that people have claimed to have seen in the waters of Vice City and San Andreas. There is an ongoing debate to whether they actually exist in-game or not.

Appearances

GTA Vice City

Many players have claimed to have spotted sharks in the waters of Vice City. Most players claim that they are just mods, but others say that they are very rare. However these creatures do in fact, exist in the waters of Vice City on all three versions of the game (PlayStation 2, PC and Xbox versions).

These sharks cannot be killed by the player and will not attack Tommy Vercetti, even if the player jumps into the water next to it, although doing this will kill the player anyway by drowning. Its not easy to keep track of sharks as they swim out past the games barriers and they can easily disappear. The place you are most likely to find them, is south of Vice City or behind the Vercetti Estate.

Sharks in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Much like Vice City, many players of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas have claimed to have seen sharks in the waters of San Andreas. Like above, most players say they are just mods, but others claim the sharks are just rare. Some people have stated that sharks actually attack Carl Johnson and kill him, but this is unlikely, most likely the sharks will swim away like all the other marine life is programmed to do. As in Vice City the sharks are said to be invulnerable to damage.

Players often mistake Dolphins for Sharks because they look very similar in game. The IMG tool for gta3.img on San Andreas proves that sharks are in the game coding, as it states the shark.dff file is in game. The shark does not attack Carl and highly resembles a White Tip Shark. It is said that sharks are only found underneath the Gant Bridge although sharks probably do not spawn at all as the shark.dff is most likely missing the piece of code that allows the shark to spawn in-game.

-'''Sharks''' are animals in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. They are real-life sea creatures that people have claimed to have seen in the waters of [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]] and [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]]. In GTA San Andreas there is a file named "SHARK", hinting that sharks may have, at some point, been in the game. Sharks will not die if shot by the player.

-==Appearances==
+=Appearances=
-Sharks have appeared in two Grand Theft Auto games in the series: [[Grand Theft Auto:Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas]].Both of the games are in the [[GTA III Era]]. The Sharks look most like a Tiger Shark or Great White Shark.
 ==GTA Vice City==
-Many players and fans of [[Grand Theft Auto:Vice City]] have claimed to have spotted sharks in the waters of [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]]. Some people have claimed that they're just mods but others have claimed to see them without the use of such mods while others say that they are just rare. However these creatures do in fact, exist in the waters of Vice City on all three versions of the game ([[PlayStation 2]], [[Personal Computer|PC]] and [[Xbox]] versions). These sharks cannot be killed by the player and will not attack [[Tommy Vercetti]], in the water or on boat, even if you jump into the water next to it, it won't eat you or devour you. It isn't so easy to keep track of these sharks as they swim out to where players cannot go, and when they swim under they may dissapear. The place you are most likely to find them, is south of Vice City or behind the [[Vercetti Estate]].

 ==Sharks in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas==
-Much like Vice City, many players of [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] have claimed to have seen sharks in the waters of [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]]. Like the ealier game, they are said to be just mods, but others claim they're just rare. It is unknown if these sharks actually exist in the game, otherwise. Some people have stated that sharks actually attack [[Carl Johnson]] and kill him, others say they just swim away frightened. People have actually mistaken Dolphins for Sharks because they look similar in game. Like [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], the sharks in GTA San Andreas are invincible and will not die from gunfire. People have said that sharks are only found underneath the [[Gant Bridge]]. The IMG tool for [[Gta3.img|gta3.img]] on [[San Andreas]] actually proves that sharks are in [[San Andreas]] because it states the shark.dff file is in the game. As seen in numerous videos, the shark doesn't even attack Carl Johnson and highly resembles a White Tip Shark.
