I learned something new today:

Galeophobia: Excessive and persistent fear of sharks

"The term "galeophobia" is derived from the Greek words "galeos" (shark with markings resembling those on a weasel) and "phobos" (fear). "Galeophobia" is also sometimes used as alternate term for ailurophobia, fear of cats, because the Greek word "galeos" is derived from "galee," a Greek meaning "polecat" and "weasel.""

So I'm also afraid of weasels?
It just goes to show you, it's always something!
