and bring valid sources. I am no expert but Threshers sharks are some of the less know about sharks in the world. like the 6 gill shark and 7 gill shark.--HalaTruth(ሐላቃህ) 14:45, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just because we don't know much about them doesn't make them one (aside from the fact there are three species covered here) of the less well known sharks . There are plenty of sharks that we know less about than we do about threshers and plenty we know more about. Putting in an opinion about the relative amount of information we have on the sharks without valid sources is no better than adding unsourced statistics. Yomanganitalk 15:39, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it known for sure whether the tail is actually used as a tool in predation?  Has this actually been observed?  I saw no footnote regarding this point and always wondered if this was merely a supposition or old wives' tale.  I'm not gonna remove it because I have no evidence it's false, but it would be good if somebody could find some support to link for this claim.  Molon Labe (talk) 17:35, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  So about that tail... 

message: "CHALLENGE-- A thresher shark was seen on the live video ... Macondo oil well blow out in the Gulf of Mexico. This is significantly deeper than the 500m previously thought to be their limit."
Could this be resolved either way?

message: Videos like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANjYYXIl_C8 clearly show that the shark is "threshing" schools of fish with his tail to stun them.
The name refers to the tail's function and not its appearance.
So the "thresher-like tail" in the article linking to a similar looking scythe seems to be silly.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vindolin (talk • contribs) 08:13, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
