Thresher Shark

Thresher sharks grow up to 20 feet long and weigh up to 1,100 pounds. They are named for their lengthened upper tail fin, which resembles a scythe or thresher. Thresher sharks strike potential prey with their tails, and then attack stunned prey items with their bite. A thresher shark’s elongated tail fin may be as long as their body. These sharks are not usually aggressive towards humanoids, and may be fished for meat and shark skin to make decorative shagreen.
