Pelagic thresher sharks are another one of my favorites. Their dramatic heterocercal tails are used to whip and stun prey. A pelagic species outside many EEZs, thresher mortalities from commercial fisheries are hard to track. 29/30 for

The moon hangs low
As the great hound of the sea
Unleashes his power
Like a pelagic systole

Over the rocks
Under the kelp
All the way to distant docks

A lone sailor
And a bottle of gin
Last thought he had —
Over, owari, fin
