A group of sharks is called a shiver. This term is often used to describe a group of sharks swimming together. The name ‘shiver’ is thought to come from the chilling effect that seeing a group of sharks can have on people. Sharks are typically solitary creatures, but they can come together for various reasons, such as feeding or mating. When they do, the sight of multiple sharks can be quite intimidating, hence the fitting name ‘shiver’.
