A Basking Shark not feeding is a lot less scary with its huge mouth closed. . This is a #repost from @baskingsharkscotland via @PhotoAroundApp We've had everything from dolphin super pods to sunfish this past week and let's not forget the sharks! Lots of food around for the sharks so we've seen a lot of feeding as well as some other interesting behaviours like breaching (yes this giant animal can propel itself fully out of the water!). This particular individual was cruising while it looked for some denser patches of zooplankton. #baskingsharkscotland #scotland #hebrides #wildlife #shark #sharks #baskingshark #underwater #BaskingSharks #underwaterphotography #ocean #gopro #brilliantmoments #lovescotland

Several Tweeted Clips of Basking Sharks The basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) is the second-largest living fish, after the whale shark, and one of three plankton-eating sharks along with the whale shark and megamouth shark. Adults typically reach 6–8 metres (20–26 feet) in length. They are usually greyish-brown, with mottled skin. The caudal fin has a strong lateral keel and a crescent shape. .
