Shark Week 2017--Aloha, the Thresher Shark

ekakinomi-art

(EDIT--8/5/2019: When these were initially made, I was not feeling that great, but I was so passionate about these and so determined to get them posted on the appropriate dates that me and my team only added the bare minimum of details to each one. This year, they have been refurbished with species names and frames added to the ones that didn't have them, and literal water-marks for all of them, plus tags and text descriptions like the ones below, and finally I have reposted all of them to my other sites. I'm sorry for the long delay, and I hope you enjoy the new up-dates!)

Next shark in line for a beautiful pixel anthropomorphication is Aloha, a Common Thresher Shark! The Common Thresher, which is the most common of the Threshers (joke intended), is also the Thresher with the most names--some of the more lively being "swingle-tail", "slasher", "Big-Eye Thresher", "fox shark", and "Zorro Thresher".

But the reason it's usually called a "Thresher" Shark is because of it's huge, whip-like tail, which it uses like a whip to corral fish into a tight ball (with the help of several other Threshers) and stun them with incapacitating blows, similar to a person who separates grains from their plants by beating them, who is also called a thresher.

This Thresher Shark, however, is in no mood to whip some fish--she's all dressed up and ready for a party deeper down! Can't you see the neon lighting reflecting off the bubbles at the bottom?
