Because they eat other living organisms, which is an animal charcteristic, and they have a vertabrae, also an animal charateristic, and they have many cells with a nucleaus and organelles, another animal charcteristic, and they move, which is yet another charcteristic almost all animals share.
They are not minerals or plants. The three classifications are plants, animals or minerals. So they fall under animals.
Sharks are classified as fish, cartilagenous fish.
A shark is a type of fish. So it is a vertebrate, under the fish catigory.
A shark is a type of fish and it is also a vertebrate.
Sharks are classified as Selachimorpha. They are sister groups to the ray family. There are over 470 different types of sharks.
Class: Condrichthyes
cartiligenous fish
Endangered. The great white shark is a "mackerel shark", allied to the porbeagle, and long finned and short finned mako sharks. The species is considered "Vulnerable", by the IUCN. Recently, numbers have shown an upswing, as more sharks than expected have been counted in South African, and waters off the coast of North America.
A banjo shark belongs to the Chondrichthyes class of sharks. It is often called a fiddler ray or guitarfish as well.
Sharks do have backbones, making them vertebrates. Their skeletons are made mostly of cartilage and not actual bone, being of a more ancient classification of fish in evolutionary terms. Whether something is cute or not is subjective, however sharks aren't exactly an animal that have the head/body porportions similar to what humans usually see as cute, they don't look neotonous (like babies).

Sharks and swordfish are both in the Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Chordata, and Infraphylum Gnathostomata. Within the Infraphylum Gnathostomata, sharks and swordfish are in different classes: Chondrichthyes for sharks and Osteichthyes for swordfish.
Typically, the classification level with the broadest scope, such as kingdom in biological classification or phylum in the animal kingdom, would have the most members because it encompasses multiple subgroups. These higher levels group together organisms with similar characteristics before further classifying them into more specific categories.
