Species Spotlight: Whale Sharks
Whale sharks are the largest fish in the ocean, reaching lengths of up to 65 feet. They have unique features such as flat heads and white spots on their backs, which are like fingerprints unique to each shark. These gentle giants are filter-feeders that primarily eat plankton and small fish, and they face threats from human activity, habitat destruction, and climate change. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these magnificent creatures.
