| i thought a whale shark was not a shark at all, but a fish. (sharks aren't technically fish). |

| @gopaladins: Sharks are fish; they just aren't Bony Fish. They are a different classification called Elasmobranches, along with Rays and Skates. The things you learn while looking up shark names. |

| I really enjoyed this quiz (:
There were no faults, but since you said we could request sharks...Could I suggest a few others? Maybe something like the Goblin shark, or my favorite, the Oceanic Whitetip :D |

| Wow, apparently the name "Wobblegong" is so embarassing that the rest of the shark kingdom will not even acknowledge that it is one of them and took the "shark" right out of its name. |

| @tmxicon: The wobbegong is actually a bizarrely beautiful little shark with multiple colours and little appendages all over. Check out a photo, if you can. |

| I love sharks and thus this quiz. I think, though, that you could do just the clues or the vowels. For my answers I just looked at the clues. |

| Proof of Darwin's evolutionary theory! We have moved on from the onegill shark,t he twogill shark, the threegill shark, the fourgill shark and the fivegill shark. The eightgill shark should be available sometime in the next millenia. |

| Heeding caramba's advice, I checked out the wobblegong. But I like the spotted wobblegong even more: http://dsc.discovery.com/sharks/shark-pictures/images/spotted-wobbegong.jpg |

| If you want to see a weird looking shark, check out the Goblin Shark.

| seems like an odd choice to show the vowels. i feel like the shark descriptions alone are enough to make a functioning quiz, and displaying the vowels just makes it feel strange. |

| @SamS: Most people actually don't know many sharks. My Snakes quiz has just the vowels, no clues and people are scoring higher on that one. I didn't even make this a guided quiz, so quiz takers can just name as many sharks as they can think of. Median score - about 6/22. |

| I didn't get many, but I got the sawshark. I call it my Sawshark Redemption. |

| I just think it's fun to say "wobbegong". |

| @Dudeman612Wow that Goblin Shark is even funkier than the woebegone wobbegong! Why didn't I follow up on CheriBomb's suggestion and include it?! Would have been better than the bonus Porbeagle! |

| There is a very impressive whale shark at the Atlanta Aquarium...it swims overhead...but I've never seen anything as weird as that goblin shark |

| Goblin sharks don't look that odd most of the time. They project their jaws further forward when attacking than other sharks, the rest of the time they look rather like a long nosed pink version of a Grey Nurse shark.

| The swell shark is another oddity. Check it out. It sucks in air (or water) and looks like a pufferfish. I didn't even notice the darn vowels and I still got 99th/p so I'm happy! |

| I thought for sure silky and blacktip would be in there. Maybe as bonus answers like goblin? Btw, I love the fact that you included goblin shark as a bonus.
Would you consider accepting saw fish for sawshark? They are the same thing and sawfish is a very commonly used name. It was even referred to as such on the show "river monsters". :-) |

| mynicka, tiger sharks have the highest testosterone level of any animal on earth. Strictly scientifically they are considered a more aggressive species then many others. However I would consider bull sharks to be the most dangerous to humans. |
