  • Off the coast of Venezuela, we encounter the whale shark - the biggest of all the fish in the ocean. In this clip, a shoal of bait fish are using the whale shark as a protective shield. However, unexpected developments are about to take place when we encounter some yellow-finned tuna...

    They call it the Whale Shark for a reason. Just as well its feeding habits are similar to whales as well, they're not much danger to humans at all. Pretty friendly to divers actually, they probably think we're funny-shaped remoras.

    Actually, no. Fish are not mammals. Aquatic mammals (seals, dolphins, whales) are considered a different category of animal from fish (sharks, tuna, anything with "fish" in it's name, like a swordfish, clownfish, lionfish, etc... though the insect: "silverfish" does not count as an actual fish.)

    Happy International Whale Shark Day!
    🌊Whale sharks live up to 150 years.
    🌊They swim slowly at the surface with their mouth open ride filtering out primarily plankton and other small animals like squid, krill and fish.
    🌊Because whale sharks feed at the surface slowly they are very vulnerable to pollution, marine debris and fishing by-catch.
    🌊We sometimes get together for a feast.
