Is a shrk a fish or a mammal?
You are right, it is a FISH. A shark breathes through their gills like any other fish do. Shark is different from the Whale. Whales are large, magnificent, intelligent, aquatic mammals. They breathe air through blowhole(s) into lungs . I suggest that the whale shark is the cause of confusion. Don't get confused with a whale shark to think shark as a mammal because of the "whale" in its name. Whale shark is just a kind of shark considered as the biggest shark and the biggest fish. It is NOT a whale. You have to differentiate and specify 'Whale Shark' from a 'Whale'. Don't get confused if you see "Whale" before the 'Shark' ('Whale Shark').You see, you have to be careful when the name "whale is attached to the name." Just like the "Killer Whales" and "Pilot Whales", there is the name whale attached to their names yet they are not whales but dolphins but they are also mammals. Anyway just bear in mind that 'Whale Shark' is a fish and all the rest of combined names bearing 'whale' are mammals- either a real whale or dolphins. (Examples: Blue Whale, Killer Whale, Pilot Whale, Humpback Whale, etc.)♥
