Meet the Basking Shark 🦈

The basking shark is the second-largest fish in the world, reaching up to 10 meters in length. Despite their size, they are gentle filter feeders that primarily eat plankton. They have a unique appearance with a broad head, large mouth, and grayish-brown coloration. Basking sharks can be found in temperate and cool waters worldwide, often seen near the surface during the summer months. They are protected due to past population declines caused by overfishing. These remarkable creatures captivate with their size, feeding habits, and important ecological role in the oceans.
