Great white shark

The shark (サメ, Same) is a fish that can be found in the ocean from June through September from 4 AM to 9 PM. It doesn't have to be raining. The shark has a "Huge (with fin)", shadow size when seen in the water. It is also the longest fish in the game, at about 550 centimeters. The shark, being so immense, is likely to win any "size" fishing tourney.

Donating in Wild World
Blathers will say this upon donation of the shark:
 * '"Shark flesh is often used in processed seafood products, eh wot? As such, you might wonder why it isn't grilled like other fish, am I correct? Well, shark tends to reek of ammonia, you know. And that is NOT good."

Donating in City Folk
Blathers will say this upon donation of the shark:
 * "If one were so inclined, one could sit around pulling shark teeth all day. They simply keep growing back! I've heard that over a shark's lifetime, it will go through thousands of teeth, which is disconcerting. ...Anyhoo, no toothpaste needed! How appropriate for a creature that's been around since the dinosaurs!"

In New Leaf
"The triangular teeth of sharks appear to have evolved from scales sometime in the past. When a tooth breaks, it quickly falls out and a new one grows in, keeping them always in good shape for prey. Sharks can be fearsome creatures, able to smell blood from several miles away. They can even jump out of the water to catch prey, making them powerful predators. Contrary to their tough image, their bones are made of cartilage and erroneously used as health food."

Selling on Flea Market Day
If the player sells a shark on Flea Market Day, then he or she can sell it for double the money (30,000 bells).

Further information
The shark, Carcharodon carcharias, is a fish that has been around since long before the dinosaurs existed. It can be found in waters all over the world in every ocean. Unlike bony fish, sharks have no bones; their skeleton is made of cartilage, which is a tough, fibrous substance, not nearly as hard as bone, but more flexible.
