I believe it's actually pronounced ANGEL shark, no? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.206.28.218 (talk) 22:27, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The real question, for all angle shark lovers out there, is how do we update the shark information to the correct spelling? This is a travesty. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.206.28.218 (talk) 21:51, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Was this article written by children?

[edit]

This article has some strange paragraphs, with some weird opinionated claims, and Monty Python like reasoning. Example: The angel shark has unique features that differentiates them from other sharks. They are considered as smaller sized sharks because they grow up to only 7 feet (2.1 m) and can weigh around 77 pounds (35 kg), as opposed to the whale shark that can measure up to 32 feet (9.8 m) and weigh 20,000 pounds (9,100 kg). Because they are much smaller than the unusually large giant shark, totally outside the normal spectrum for sharks, they are considered as "smaller sized" sharks? What? In the article about the angelshark species, it is recorded as up to 80 kg. and 2.4 m. That is course small compared with a whale shark, but a good deal bigger than 35 kg. It's just ludicrous to use the whale shark for comparaison. It's like calling a 6 foot guy short because Robert Wadlow was much taller. 217.74.152.67 (talk) 18:29, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
