If you stroke a shark from nose to tail, it is smooth. If you stroke it the other way it is rough, and in some species, may cause skin lacerations.

they are called scales. same for every fish. possibly sans lacerations.

fuzz, have you never been fishing? never scaled a fish?

They're unlike normal fish scales - they're more like small teeth (dermal denticles).

Sharkskin is traditionally used by the Japanese to grate wasabi.

My idea of fishing is with explosives and a net for scooping up the fish.

If you lift a kangaroo's tail off the ground, it will turn around and eviscerate you with its toe claws.... then hop away.
