Whale Sharks

Yes. There all called the blue whale. And also there all the biggest mammals on earth, somebody has just described them as big.

yes they are friendly but killer whales you can not swim with because they might think you are a seal and eat you but most other cases whales do not attack you unless they are a male or a female with a baby.

yes a killer whale is bigger than a shark. most shark species are smaller than killer whales even the great white shark the killer whale can be twice as big as the great white. But there is one shark who is bigger than the orca that is the whale shark :)

yay. whale sharks dont have teeth, they only eat small sea animals. and its mouth is big enough, probz youll be able to swim back out if your not runnin out of oxygen.

How much whale sharks eat depends on their size. As a general rule, whale sharks eat between 0.5 % and 3% of their body weight at each meal. They have a slow metabolism which means they need two to three days to digest their meal. So, if a fully grown whale shark weighs about 13 tonnes, it might eat almost 400 kilograms of food every 2-3 days. The whale shark feeds by filtering huge amounts of plankton and tiny sea creatures through its gills as it swims. It swims with its mouth open, sucking in huge amounts of water filled with small animals and plankton. This water is then filtered through spongy tissue around its gills. After the whale shark closes its mouth, it uses gills rakers, which are thousands of bristles around 10cm long in its mouth, to filter and eat the tiny plants and animals, which can include small fish, crustaceans and squid. A whale shark will often swim into schools of tiny creatures so as to maximise how much it can trap in its mouth. Because of the way it feeds, and the facts that its 3000 tiny teeth are virtually useless, a whale shark presents no danger to people.

It looks like a big blue shark. It has a lot of white spots and is a navy blue and has puny teeth.

they do so because their babies have been in their nice, warm tummy for so long and an immediate temp change in cool waters can kill the baby easily.. a bit like when new babies are born they are sometimes put in a box like an incubator so they don't become cold and form deficiencies

they are very big weighing upon 1,700 lbs and the primary coler is white

Whale sharks. Whale sharks can grow up to 50 feet, while belugas only grow to about 15-20 feet.

because they are so big no most preditors do not try

That would be very hard to estimate. While they can be found in any warm ocean of the world,

whale sharks are not, and never have been, common anywhere. They are not endangered, but are listed as "vulnerable".

Good question there was never a bull shark in the delawere river plus a shark can go from an ocean to a lake or a river but there might of been one but the people should not have went swimmming there that there was a shark in the river but good question! :)

For a Given value of 'friendly' Yes, it might not be very interested in frolicking merrily through the ocean with you, but it would be quite incapable of eating you, and they are very docile.

there is not an exact number of spots in a whale shark. It's also depending in how old is it. thanks a lot and i hope i answered your question.

yes

The Whale Shark is found in tropical and warm oceans, lives in the open sea with a lifespan of about 70 years
in the sea
Whale sharks live in warm water (near the equator) both along the coast and in the open seas. They spend most of their time near the surface of the water.

The Whale Shark has no natural preditors.

I don't think there are any

Well KSMAIL The whale shark may have no natural predators but it has predators, there are 4 main ones

Orca ( Killer Whale)

Blue Shark

Boats

Humans

In 1999 about 100- 500 whale sharks were living

In 2009 about 3,200- 6,000 whale sharks were livnign

Yeppp, have you seen your buddy recently... That whale seems stuffed... Stuffed with human bones... And a scole. The ocean has also turned red... :D

The fastest recored Mako was 31 mph. The fastest recored Mako was 31 mph.

it depends on the type of whale. Narwhals, for example, have only two teeth, one (or sometimes both) of which breaks through the mouth and grows into a thirteen foot tusk. other whales, such as the sperm whale, have between 50 and 80, while dolphins (which are a sub-category of toothed whales) can have over 100.
