1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	• Very well written. Good job. Correct grammar and punctuation, excepting a few commas here and there, which I have fixed for you. • Excellent taxonomy section!
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	• The description in the lead is, in my opinion, slightly too detailed. I would suggest simplifying the last two sentences of the 1st paragraph to something like: "Many of its fins are black-tipped," and leave it at that, since the Description section will go into more detail.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
	2c. it contains no original research.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	• It is regretable that there is no image of the shark itself, but that is no fault to any of the editors nor a requirement for GA. • I do not think that the image of the snake is very relevant and suggest removing it. It's not even the case that the snake is the primary food source. (It would be like putting a cheeseburger on the page for Homo sapiens. :) )
	7. Overall assessment.	Excellent work; I only wish there were an image of the shark....
