🔬 物种简介
长尾鲨最显著的特征是其极度延长的上尾叶，长度几乎与体长相当。捕猎时用尾巴猛力抽打鱼群，将猎物击晕后再吞食，这种独特的捕食策略在鲨鱼中极为罕见。性格较为温和，鲜有攻击人类的记录，已被列为易危物种。
Wikipedia
The common thresher, also known as Atlantic thresher, is the largest species of thresher shark, family Alopiidae, reaching some 6 m (20 ft) in length. About half of its length consists of the elongated upper lobe of its caudal fin. With a streamlined body, short pointed snout, and modestly sized eyes, the common thresher resembles the pelagic thresher. It can be distinguished from the latter species by the white of its belly extending in a band over the bases of its pectoral fins. The common thresher is distributed worldwide in tropical and temperate waters, though it prefers cooler temperatures. It can be found both close to shore and in the open ocean, from the surface to a depth of 550 m (1,800 ft). It is seasonally migratory and spends summers at lower latitudes.
