Imagine walking around a field one day when suddenly a giant beam of light pulls you up into the sky, turns you over like a babe, and points you to a measuring device as you gasp for breath, and then suddenly - boom it's over - you're tossed not unkindly back into the field where you pick yourself up and walk dazed and confused back home, wondering what the hell just happened and if it even happened at all.

Poor shark.

Kinda looks like it has a very unfortunate kind of moustache that went out of fashions for reasons that are very well related to dangers to humans.

No sharks are known dangers to humans unless provoked or involved in an extremely rare accident.

"Danger to humans" simply means they would run rather than attack you. Holding it like that, if your hand is in the wrong place you might still lose it.

They had to change it's original name, the Hitler shark, after some unpleasantness in the 30s and 40s
