Definition
- 1(superorden Selachimorpha) Cualquiera de numerosas especies de peces de esqueleto cartilaginoso y de cuerpo ahusado. Poseen múltiples agallas a los lados o debajo de la cabeza, dentículos dérmicos cubriendo el cuerpo y la boca en la cara inferior del cuerpo, dotada de varias hileras de dientes, que reemplazan regularmente. La voracidad y agresividad de algunas especies es proverbial, y aunque otras son inofensivas para el ser humano, en el imaginario social son el predador de animales por antonomasia.
- 2Por extensión, persona rapaz e inescrupulosa.
