The Shark 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 one of two fish to be in two groups: the 15,000 group and as the most prominent member of the shark group. It is also the longest fish in the game, at about 550 centimeters. The shark, being so immense, will win any "size" fishing tourney.

Donating to the Museum

Donating in Wild World

Blathers has this to say upon donation:

'"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: "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!"

Further Information

The great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias, is an amazing 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.
