thresher

Harvest processing machine

A thresher is a machine that separates grain from stalks and husks—the agricultural process called threshing.

Before mechanization, threshing was done by hand with flails or by animals walking over harvested crops.

A thresher shark has a distinctively long tail fin that it uses to stun prey, whip-like as a flail.
