Description
Gentle, docile and actually the largest fish in the ocean. These friendly giants are solitary creatures and have a lifespan of up to 100 to 150 years. They are beautifully marked with their own unique patterns of white spots and like all sharks they are not to be feared but respected. The majestic whale shark has no natural predators, except for humans.
