• The Shark is the longest fish in the game, measuring 550 centimeters.

Real Life

In real life, the shark that was presented in the Animal Crossing games is believed to be a Great White Shark. The Great White Shark is one of the world's most famous animals. Its huge jaws and large rows of teeth make it an excellent hunter. Great White Sharks have a healthy diet and often eat other fish, smaller sharks, dolphins, porpoises, and seals. Most of these sharks live on the coast where water temperature is between 12 °C and 24 °C. They have been known to attack humans, but not on purpose, just a "test bite" to see what the object they sense is if they are not familiar with it.
