Etymology: Alopias:From alopex, Greek for fox, referring to the ancient vernacular “fox shark,” from its supposed cunning (ancients believed that when it took a bait, it swallowed the hook until it got to the cord, which it bit off and so escaped). (See ETYFish); vulpinus:Latin for fox-like (as for genus). (See ETYFish). More on author: Bonnaterre.
