Answer:

Sharks have small pectoral fins that are very distinct from their body. Sharks also have caudal fins on their tails, which are long and bulkier.

Shark fins typically tend to be more triangular in shape. The leading edge of the dorsal fin might have a little curve to it depending on the species, but generally, the back edge of the dorsal fin that points towards the tail is pretty squared off or flat.
