blåhaj appears to be a plush shark characterized by its blue and white colors, with a wide-open mouth displaying a set of harmless white fabric teeth. It has six gills and a brown eye, and all of its fins and tail are rounded. It also has an orange outline for the eyes if you look close enough. There's also some wrinkles on the lower body and below its large dorsal fin.
The image has white halos around it, meaning it's background was mostly poorly erased. Most of the edges were aliased, except the abdomen.
