Whale sharks typically swim at a slow pace of about 2 to 3 miles per hour (3 to 5 kilometers per hour). However, they can reach speeds of up to 20 miles per hour (32 kilometers per hour) in short bursts when necessary. Their leisurely swimming allows them to filter feed on plankton and small fish effectively. Overall, they are not known for their speed but rather for their gentle nature.
