Oddities of a Historical Variety

It’s hard to believe now, but in my original list of Deep Ocean 🌊 characters, there was no Whale Shark! 🦈 When I think about it, I’m a little scared of what I might have missed by not creating it! 😳

Wishing you a wonderful start to the new week, dear friends! 💛💙

Not only is the whale shark (Rhincodon typus) the world’s largest shark—it’s also the world’s largest fish! Growing up to 40 ft (12 m) long and weighing more than 40,000 lbs (18,144 kg), it’s often regarded as a gentle giant. Don’t be alarmed by its colossal mouth: This slow-moving species is a filter feeder, gulping down small marine animals like shrimp and plankton. It can be spotted in warm waters around the world, traveling thousands of miles each year to find food.

Did you know? Sharks and their relatives have been swimming in Earth’s oceans for about 450 million years. That's long before there were humans, dinosaurs, or even trees!
