the whale shark is a peculiar animal. it seems like a whale, butit’s really a shark. 

whale sharks can be found in warm tropical oceans around theworld. sometimes whale sharks can dive to up to 1,800 meters. 

being so large, you would expect the whale shark to eat somethingbig, but it actually eats plankton., tiny organisms that float around in theocean. 

But this animal does have quite a scary predator, the orca. Itdoes also happen to be endangered partly because of fisheries. their populationstands at 7,100. 

possibly the most interesting thing about it is it’s size. it canget up to 18.8 meters amad weighs an astonishing 41,000 pounds. the whale sharkalso lives for quite a long time. they can live for 70 to 100 years and startmating at the age of 30. 

what’s the most confusing thing about this animal? it looking likea whale but really being a shark?
