Whale Shark | Rhincodon typus
“The whale shark is a filter feeder and can neither bite nor chew. Although its mouth can stretch to four feet wide, its thousands of teeth are so tiny that it can only eat small shrimp, fish and plankton by using its modified gill rakers as a suction filter.”

Huge, docile whale sharks live in oceans around the world, but no one knows where they breed, their migration routes, or even how many there are. Whale sharks owe their name to their size: up to 65 feet (20 meters) long and 37 tons.
