Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sharks are a special type of fish known because their body is made out of cartilage instead of bones like other fish. The classification of this type of fish is “elasmobranch.” This category also includes rays, sawfish, and skates.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sharks are fish, even though some people believe they are mammals due to how big some of them can get and because some give birth to live young. Fish are aquatic animals that were among the first vertebrates (animals with a backbone) to evolve on earth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sharks: They are not mammals because they lack all of the characteristics that define mammals. They don’t have warm blood, for example. Sharks are classified as fish, despite the fact that, unlike most fish, their skeleton is made of cartilage.
