There are very few predators that actually hunt and consume humans. And sharks is not one. Sharks have not evolved to hunt humans. Why? Cause humans did not evolve in the same ecosystem as sharks. Humans are NOT on any sharks menu.
The most notable modern day predator on humans are tigers. Mostly in India. But, thought out Asia.
Predators like the Nile croc hunt people also. But I doubt they even know what a human taste like.
By the way, tigers don't eat the stomach and intestines of humans. They rip them out, drag them away from the kill. They do enjoy eating a human heart.

To expand on Jim's correct answer, I will add this: the only large predators that have been known to actively stalk and kill humans for food are Bengal tigers, African lions, and an occasional jaguar. There are very unsubstantiated anecdotal reports of mountain lions, wolves, and coyotes doing the same. Crocodiles are non-discriminatory predators, and do not seem to develop a "taste", although they will consume human flesh as an opportunistic- if they have the chance, they will kill a human as they would anything else.

Generally no.
We tended to kill the animals that had a taste for human flesh. The others remaining are the ones that haven't been taught to prey on humans.
For some large predators, we're enough unlike their usual prey that we're not even in the running. All the same, when the orcas are near the shore, I don't go swimming.
Things like crocodiles aren't too particular about their meat, and that's inborn.

In addition to the answers above, Bengali tigers, and probably the other big cats that hunt humans, do so because humans are relatively slow, so they are easy to kill. They have more meat than smaller prey, yet are easier to catch, so older, weaker tigers often become manhunters because they can't get anything else, not because they like the taste.

they probably like the salt on our skin more than the actual taste of our flesh. Once an animal has killed a human, they will always hunt for that-a human. Once a human killer, they will always be. I think your question could have two sides of it- obviously meat eating animals would.

Humans are the worst recipe in animals' menu. They attck us beacuse we pose a threat to them. and When we don mind eating brocoli when we are extremely hungry , they too won't mind eating us when left in hunger.

Keep an alka seltzer in your pocket in case of a shark attack so they don't get indigestion

They only like it once they taste it.

Predatory animals like meat, no matter where they get it from.
