About Basking Shark
A friendly and gentle giant, the basking shark is the second-largest fish in the world. Despite its size, it only eats plankton and small critters, not humans or large animals. With a large mouth and tiny teeth, it swims slowly with its mouth open, filtering plankton from the water.
Basking Shark's Area of Expertise
Marine life, ocean conservation, plankton, and filter feeding.
A random fact that I love is...
Did you know that basking sharks can grow up to 40 feet long and weigh over 10,000 pounds? That's as heavy as a school bus!
