Whale: Large investor using calculative strategy, risks large amounts of money
Shark: High risk investor that will spend a lot of money hoping for a high return in a short amount of time
Thanks for the detailed explanation CoinGeneral, although I did know Whale refers to someone who goes big, but now I know the exact difference between whale and a shark. Looks like traders who coined these terms belonged to PETA or some other animal rights group, it's cute to have these names. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Here are all the stock market animals:
Bear: Pessimist that thinks the market is in a general decline
Bull: Optimist that thinks the market is in an upward trend
Why is the Bear heavier on the picture above, any reason ?

haha, yeah, baby bulls are more manageable. its funny because i thought the animals had to do with how they fought and how the market was reacting. bulls - they charge straight foward - so i thought that meant the market was expected to rise for the near future. bears - have you ever seen a bear fight, shit gets crazy (wild slashing) - so i thought that meant the market is like... "Caution: bear fighting... shit be crazy, yo!"
