This article was mis-tagged because it was categorized as commercial fish. Commercial fish was included in the tagging because it concerns those fish species caught and consumed as foodstuffs. Articles concerning species of fish should have been treated the same as cattle or chicken and not been tagged as such. Only those articles concerning food, similar to Chicken (food), should have been tagged. I apologize for the error. --Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 23:10, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
Is it known for sure whether the tail is actually used as a tool in predation? Has this actually been observed? I saw no footnote regarding this point and always wondered if this was merely a supposition or old wives' tale. I'm not gonna remove it because I have no evidence it's false, but it would be good if somebody could find some support to link for this claim. Molon Labe (talk) 17:35, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
"CHALLENGE-- A thresher shark was seen on the live video ... Macondo oil well blow out in the Gulf of Mexico. This is significantly deeper than the 500m previously thought to be their limit."
Could this be resolved either way? Bruinfan12 (talk) 11:49, 11 June 2011 (UTC) connor winterbottom is a god — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.108.115.47 (talk) 18:49, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
""thresher-like tail or "" the link from this thresher leads to scythe! If one knows nothing, why then write here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.183.96.216 (talk) 10:09, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
""their exceptionally long, thresher-like tail "" This link leads to "thresher" , but it is useless, because the authors there do not know what the meaning of thresher originally is.
Videos like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANjYYXIl_C8 clearly show that the shark is "threshing" schools of fish with his tail to stun them.
The name refers to the tail's function and not its appearance.
So the "thresher-like tail" in the article linking to a similar looking scythe seems to be silly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vindolin (talk • contribs) 08:13, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
