While eating is important in Hungry Shark, a big part of surviving longer is knowing how to avoid enemies who can take you out. As you are eating your way through the game, you’ll sometimes see a warning that lets you know the creature you’re attempting to eat is too big for you. Take note of those creatures and keep your distance! These may make you lose time and points. Boost to speed away quickly! Some tips for you:

- Pay attention to the jellyfish as they are most sharks’ deadliest enemies…
- Eat the gemfish! This very pretty-looking fish swims around and you’ll have to be quick to eat it! You receive a free gem every time you do.
- With its rotor blades, sweeping attack and homing missiles, the Military Helicopter is one tough enemy to take down! Avoid the blades and boost into the cockpit until you take it down.
