The cirrhotic liver has a small right lobe and a large left lobe as a compensation for reduced size and function of the right lobe. This gives the left lobe a snout like shape in contrast to the small triangular right lobe. This liver thus takes on a shark head like appearance and the structures (arteries vein nerves and ligaments entering the porta of the liver look like shark feed.

This work was inspired by the pancreas which previous to modern technology was known as the hermit the abdomen.
The shape of the pancreas (pink) splenic vein(maroon) and the renal vein IVC complex looked like acquatic animals swimming in the sea.
An extract from a poem about the pancreas is below.
