Sharks in the Maldives are not exclusively vegetarian; they primarily have a carnivorous diet. However, some species, like the whale shark, are filter feeders that consume plankton, small fish, and other microscopic organisms, which can give the impression of a vegetarian diet. The rich biodiversity and abundant prey in the Maldives' waters support these feeding habits. Overall, the misconception may arise from the unique feeding behavior of certain shark species in this region.
