姥鯊因何得其怪名?

查到壹個臺灣網站說:因常在水面漂浮或遊動緩慢而得名。

可能是因為姥鯊遊動緩慢像個老人。

另外姥在此是念成“母”

看得懂英文見下:

Huge, sluggish shark (family Cetorhinidae) named for its habit of floating or slowly swimming at the surface. Possibly comprising more than one distinct species, it inhabits northern and temperate regions of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. It may grow as large as 46 ft (14 m); among fishes, only the whale shark grows larger. Despite its size, the basking shark feeds on plankton. It is gray-brown or blackish, with tiny teeth and very long gill slits. It is generally harmless and is hunted sporadically for fish meal and liver oil.
