There are 3 shark species of megamouth sharks,basking shark and whale sharks.It is a slow moving filter feeder but catches its prey very fast and quick.Whales sharks are 3 times the size of a shark.
This Whale shark is a slow moving animal it is also known for the name of (Rhincodon typus) its length is 12.65m long and its mouth can be 4.9ft wide.Its height is 12m, and its weight is 19,000kg.Whale sharks heads are flattened and have blunt snouts above its mouth.

Whale sharks are active feeders, targeting plankton and fish .A whale shark is estimated to eat 21kg (46p) of plankton a day.The whale shark swims forward constantly with its mouth open and pushes water and food into its mouth.All whale sharks cannot eat or swallow human beings because of its esophagus cannot swallow big size objects or things.But if whale sharks do tend to swallow you scientists estimate that they will spit you back out.
Whale sharks were believed that there were oviparous, that some eggs were to be found on the bottom of the ocean.weeks later it was proved that such eggs were not laid by their mothers but probably the result of abortions.Eggs hatch inside their mother and pups will always receive food from its surroundings until they're fully formed.
Referring to warm waters,whale sharks will always populate in all tropical sea water.whale sharks are known to move in spring to the central west coast of australia.Whale sharks sometimes allows swimmers to hitch a ride.They are recently listed as a venerable species but is carried on to hunt in parts of asia such as the
