Whale sharks are the largest fish in the ocean, typically reaching lengths of up to 40 feet (12 meters) or more. Animals similar in size include the basking shark, which can also grow to around 30-40 feet, and the great white shark, which averages between 11 to 20 feet but can exceed 20 feet in larger specimens. Additionally, the orca, or killer whale, can reach lengths of 20-26 feet, making it comparable in size to juvenile whale sharks.
