Bringing a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘gentle giant’, Whale sharks are the largest fish in the ocean and are incredible docile, curious and completely harmless to humans. Although they can reach the size of a school bus, whale sharks eat tiny plankton and fish eggs, which they filter feed as they swim along with their giant mouths wide open. They are one of only three species of filter feeding sharks.
