I’m still unclear: are they sharklike seals? Seal-like sharks? Aquatic? Amphibious? Got legs?

Tell me more about them.

Arcanopistrus pilosis (magical hairy shark)

Arcanopistrus could be used as a genus name for magical sharks in general.

I found it by coincidence just a few weeks before this thread started.

The rest is a lifelong interest in biology, so I'm often aware of the real names of critters. I kid you not, my parents- an MD and a music teacher- got kicks out of teaching me scientific names before common ones. I learned Lepidoptera and Arachnid before butterfly or spider.
