If the second pic is real I'd say it's a dolphin. Definitely decieving but the tail fin with be as dark as the dorsal fin, if not darker.
But I don't believe it is a real photo as the dorsal fin is very defined and sharp, to my knowledge there is not a shark alive with that pointed of a dorsal fin, also it gives the impression that it is a shark as most people recognize a dorsal fin as a shark due to the Jaws films.

The first picture is dolphins. Not only can you tell from just their bodies, but some are surfacing for air.
The second picture is a shark. Look at the dorsal fin (the one on its back), it's very slender and almost sharp-tipped. Not only that, but its tail is also slender and sharp, and it moves side-to-side, not up-and-down. You can also tell by its back, from the dorsal fin to the tail.
I used to study marine biology and worked at a marine mammal (although it just became a marine wildlife) stranding center.
And it's LOS TIBURONS, wink1.gif.

actually toxic... if you look at the tail.. it indeed goes up and down.. if it was a verticle tail, like a shark, it would be on the same or a similar plane to the dorsal fin.

They're dolphins on both pics but I once had a pic of a great white pointer about to gnarl a surfer off the Sth African coast. If I can find it again you'll see that sharks can & do ride waves.
