The whale shark is currently the biggest fish alive in the ocean, and he only eats plankton. Since he's so big, he needs to eat alot plankton, so he has a big mouth to swallow all of it at once.
no they dont
The mega mouth is not a whale. It is a shark. It is not the biggest one of those either. The Whale Shark is.
They have shark tails. If they have shark tails then they'd be catagorized for a shark. They are called a whale shark because their big like a whale and shark because it is a shark (tail)
Yes. There all called the blue whale. And also there all the biggest mammals on earth, somebody has just described them as big.
It depends on how big and how old the whale shark is. :)

A whale shark is a relatively "friendly" shark. It eats plankton and other small organisms. While the thresher shark can easily fit inside the whale sharks mouth, the whale shark has no desire to consume it. So no, it can't eat a thresher shark. It is not fast enough. -MNM
