They are both simply things that live in the sea and that's all you know. Sorry, but you're wrong here.

    EDIT:

    Hint: replace "fish" with jazigimos and "sharks" with blazingilas. No one has any clue what a jazigimo or a blazingila is, outside of the fact (according to the information given) that they both live in the sea.
    True... I stand corrected on here.
