Lots of people come with their own theory about what kind of Snark look like. This created another term called Snark hunting. Off course it is not trying to catch the real Snark, since it is totally fiction, but trying to find the closer definition of Snark. There are lots of arguments about the Snark, from the linguistic aspects of Snark, Snark shape, and many more. One of the popular writings about Snark is The Annotated Snark by Martin Gardner.
