Whale Shark: The Gentle Giant of the Ocean

The whale shark (Rhincodon typus) is the largest fish in the world, measuring up to 18.8 meters (61.7 feet) in length. Despite its massive size, this gentle giant is a filter feeder, dining primarily on plankton, small fish, and even clouds of fish eggs during spawning events. Found in tropical oceans worldwide, whale sharks can live for 80 to 130 years and are capable of diving as deep as 1,928 meters (6,325 feet).

Fun fact: Each whale shark has a unique pattern of spots on its body, much like a fingerprint, making it possible to identify individuals with precision. Despite their size and strength, these sharks are harmless to humans and are often described as playful around divers.
