Smallest shark?[edit]

Isn't this one of the smallest sharks? (It is according to the page for Shark.) That should be mentioned in the article. Jason Quinn (talk) 19:37, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I gave the article mid importance on the sharks and fish scales based on the idea that the shark is perhaps the smallest there is. Jason Quinn (talk) 19:42, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
