Whale Sharks

The whale shark is currently the biggest fish alive in the ocean, and he only eats plankton. Since he's so big, he needs to eat alot plankton, so he has a big mouth to swallow all of it at once.

The wale shark feeds mainly on Plankton, but it also consumes sardines and anchovies.

You may wonder why this fish is called a whale shark. Scientists have determined that it is a species of shark, because of its skeleton (composed entirely of cartilage), and its tough, leathery, scaleless skin. People called it a whale shark because of its enormous size (like a whale), not because it's a type of whale. A whale is a mammal; a warmblooded creature that has lungs and breathes air, gives birth to its young and nurses them with milk produced by mammary glands. A shark is a fish; it "breathes" its oxygen by passing water over its gills. But no a Whale Shark is not a mammal because it it both half and half warm blooded so it is not a mammal.
A whaleshark is not a mammal. They are one of the largest types of sharks, whale is in their name because of their size, although they aren't related to whales.

Can a horsefly kill a mouse? Proportionally, each pair is the same size difference. The obvious answer is that the tiger shark would have to work ridiculously hard at it, especially considering the nearly two feet of skin and blubber it would have to chew through to sever any veins or arteries.

Whether sharks will go extinct anytime soon depends on whether humans continue to pressure them with overfishing.

According to all scientific predictions, within the next billion years life on Earth will cease to exist because the Sun will begin to run out of fuel and thus it will expand, overheating the Earth. If this happens, then sharks will become extinct by then if not before.

The blue whale by far. A blue whale reaches an estimated length of 108 feet and an estimated weight of 200 short tons. The megalodon shark reached an estimated length of 67 feet and an estimated weight of 57 short tons.

Scientific classification is important in Science. However remembering all the classifications is hard. Isurus is the genus in which sharks belong.

Its heart size depends on the size of the shark.

Bilateral symmetry means that left and right side looks the same.

the whale shark is not a mammal like the blue whale

What kind of hammerhead? The smaller ones like the bonehead are about the size of a sea turtle, so they don't eat sea turtles. There are 6 species of hammerheads and the bigger ones might eat the turtle. I never seen one eat a turtle.

because they will die if they eat anything bigger than what they eat

The largest confirmed individual had a length of 12.65 metres (41.50 ft) and a weight of more than 21.5 tonnes (47,000 lb), and there are unconfirmed reports of considerably larger whale sharks. Claims of individuals over 14 metres (46 ft) long and weighing at least 30 tonnes (66,000 lb) are not uncommon.

they dont just eat. blacktip sharks are known to hunt at night in the corals and greatwhite sharks communicate by swimming. the largest great white eats a dead whale first. there are other sharks that dont eat meat like basking sharks or whale sharks. they always swim to not drown. catsharks eat small fish and invertebrates like sea snails, octopus and crabs

A whale shark weigh 15 tons!!!!

A whale shark can way up to 20 tons and be over 40 ft long.

Dolphins have conical-shaped teeth that are used to catch and grasp slippery prey before swallowing it whole and unchewed.

in the sun light zone

no they probably don't. The orca (killer whale) eats everything in the ocean but tends to stay away from small coral fishs ussaly because they are to small and even piosonus but they do eat sharks,stingrays,barracuda so on.

Tail,torpedo like body that helps it slip through water, plane like fins, and a special dorsal fin. Glad I could help. I know lots more if you need more help :)

No. When all oxygen is expelled they drop down to the floor of the ocean, or get eaten on the way.

According to some research the hammer head sharks butt heads like billy goats, and use their heads to pin down prey until they can sink their teeth into it.

The whale shark is a cosmopolitan species, found in temperate and tropical seas worldwide.

Whale sharks sleep in the bottom of your hot tub. Then when you go in it, they run away. Into the ground. And sometimes they nibble your toes. They taste gross though. They also watch you when you sleep. They laugh. :)
