GENTLE GIANTS
Not all sharks are fierce
carnivores. Some are quite harmless. Oddly enough, the most
harmless sharks tend to be the largest! The basking shark, the whale
shark and the megamouth sharks all fit this description.
These huge sharks eat plankton, a
tiny shrimp-like creature found in the ocean. To do this, they swim
forward with their mouths wide open. "Gill rakers" at the
back of their throat strain the tiny food from the water.
