ABOUT WHALE SHARKS

Whale Sharks are awesome because they're the biggest fish in the world! The largest recorded was 20m long and weighed 42 tonnes. Yet they feed on tiny microscopic plankton. Each Whale Shark also has a unique pattern of spots, like a human fingerprint!

Their immense size and characteristic checkerboard pattern make them unmistakable and completely unforgettable.

Unfortunately the Whale Shark is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. Research is vital to ensure their survival.
