Whale sharks primarily feed on plankton, small fish, and other tiny marine organisms, making them filter feeders. They occupy a niche at the top of the food chain as large predators, but they primarily rely on abundant prey rather than hunting larger animals. In the ocean ecosystem, they help regulate plankton populations while serving as prey for larger predators like orcas. Overall, their role supports the balance of marine life in their habitats.
