I've never heard of chin receptors. That's interesting!

All animals gotta eat. Sharks are not mindless killers. Read a book sometime.

Sometimes. Sharks have sensitive electrical receptors on the head. Many have them just under the snout, though I believe tiger sharks (what this is) have more receptors on the sides of the head. Touching the receptors can overload them enough that they kind of just stop whatever it is they're doing. If I'm incorrect, hopefully someone can help me out here.
