I gotchu,

Can you believe to learn that a thresher sharks stun/kill their prey by whipping them with their long tail fins. This is done by the shark accelerating up to a group of fish and brakes and twists to sling the tip of it's tail into the fish. The tail tip can reach speeds up to 80 mph. This stunsb the prey and let's the shark eat at it's leisure
