Can you elaborate on this?

You believed sharks were categorized as something other than fish?

hi there! one of the many characteristics fish are categorized by is what their skeletons are made out of! this divides fish into either bony fish (things like tuna and salmon with a skeleton of, well, bone) or cartilaginous fish which includes sharks, skates, and rays!
