Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I have always been fascinated with sharks, and I chose this specific article because I saw it was a C class article which implied that it could use some help.

(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

The article does have a short and detailed intro to describe the article.

The lead seems to be a little to detailed, engaging in topics that aren't necessarily important at that point in the article. For example, mentioned the sharks "...binocular vision and depth perception..."

The content is relevant to the article.

All the sources work.

Claims there were 17 attacks on humans, but according to my source there have only been 16 https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/shark-attacks/factors/species-implicated/

Came off a little biased towards humans, but provided a couple sources to back up the information.

Article lists several pictures throughout. Very helpful to the reader.

Images are captioned well, short and to the point.

Pictures are placed well, ( on the side ) not to interfere with the article.

For the talk page there was a unique conversation about the placement of an image that had a man slung a shark over his shoulder, debated if it was placed in the correct section.

This article is a C class article and belongs to two Wikiprojects; WikiProject Fishes and WikiProject Sharks

Article does a good job at providing information to the reader in relatively short paragraphs pertaining to the specific detail at hand.

I believe the article is well developed, sure it could use some improvement, but by no means is this a bad article.
