Okay, so the Blacktip Reef Shark is listed at Street Level while the Chimpanzee is listed at Human Level+. The Blacktip Reef Shark typically bites out of stupidity more than anything. While its bite force isn't rated, a Blacktip Shark, a visually similar shark in terms of both size and appearance, can do up to 423 newtons of force with its front teeth and up to 1083 newtons from its rear teeth: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16542832/
Their teeth? Ehh... Not entirely sure if they're serrated or not...:
It's possible that a Blacktip Reef Shark would have similar bite forces to the Blacktip Shark. It's attacks point more towards Human level (10-B), and these attacks usually do not result in serious injury.
Chimpanzees are typically stronger than humans, and they can eat a person's face if they wanted to. Reportedly, chimpanzees can also tear limbs off, but after checking the claims, that's actually false. Bite force is unknown, although sources on the web range from only somewhat stronger than a human's bite to a whopping 1300 psi. Problem is unlike the shark, chimpanzees can't exactly... swim...: https://a-z-animals.com/blog/can-monkeys-swim/
That shouldn't be too big of a disadvantage, as reeftip sharks can swim into shallow waters and can swim into brackish and fresh water, and there is an advisory against wading near blacktip reef sharks, which shows that it is possible to wade near the shark.
That being said, the chimpanzee starts on land while the blacktip reef shark starts in water. The battle takes place where brackish water exists. Also, this is a lower-end chimpanzee vs a higher-end shark.
Anyway, here are their profiles.:
Blacktip Reef Shark's Profile
Chimpanzee's Profile
Who takes this?
Shark: 1 (Vzearr)
Chimp: 0
Inconclusive: 0
Side note, I considered a Blue Shark, but given it couldn't live in areas where chimps live, i.e. near fresh waters, that would've been an issue.
