Most whale sharks, live in the deep ocean and feed on plankton. They live in the open ocean, so the large sharks will not be stranded in the shallows, and to avoid predators that live near the shore. Plankton can be found in the cold deep waters of the ocean, so that is where whale sharks tend to live.
No, whale sharks are not autotrophs; they are filter-feeding heterotrophs. Autotrophs, like plants, produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. In contrast, whale sharks feed primarily on plankton, small fish, and other organic matter by filtering them from the water. This means they rely on other organisms for their energy and nutrients.
