  Shark \Shark\, n. [Of uncertain origin; perhaps through OF. fr.
     carcharus a kind of dogfish, Gr. karchari`as, so called from
     its sharp teeth, fr. ka`rcharos having sharp or jagged teeth;
     or perhaps named from its rapacity (cf. Shark, v. t. & i.);
     cf. Corn. scarceas.]
     1. (Zo["o]l.) Any one of numerous species of elasmobranch
        fishes of the order Plagiostomi, found in all seas.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: Some sharks, as the basking shark and the whale shark,
           grow to an enormous size, the former becoming forty
           feet or more, and the latter sixty feet or more, in
           length. Most of them are harmless to man, but some are
           exceedingly voracious. The man-eating sharks mostly
           belong to the genera Carcharhinus, Carcharodon, and
           related genera. They have several rows of large sharp
           teeth with serrated edges, as the great white shark
           ({Carcharodon carcharias or Carcharodon Rondeleti)
           of tropical seas, and the great blue shark
           ({Carcharhinus glaucus) of all tropical and temperate
           seas. The former sometimes becomes thirty-six feet
           long, and is the most voracious and dangerous species
           known. The rare man-eating shark of the United States
           coast ({Charcarodon Atwoodi) is thought by some to be
           a variety, or the young, of C. carcharias. The dusky
           shark ({Carcharhinus obscurus), and the smaller blue
           shark ({C. caudatus), both common species on the coast
           of the United States, are of moderate size and not
           dangerous. They feed on shellfish and bottom fishes.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     2. A rapacious, artful person; a sharper. [Colloq.]
        [1913 Webster]
  
     3. Trickery; fraud; petty rapine; as, to live upon the shark.
        [Obs.] --South.
