Whale shark

The whale shark is the largest fish in the world. This fish likes to live in warm water. It is as long as a bus. Imagine a huge fish swimming next to your bus. Whale sharks live up to 70 years old. They are harmless to humans but they eat fish eggs and large amounts of plankton. A group called WWF is helping whale sharks by putting satellite tags on them to track them.  In the Philippines, people hunt whale sharks for their meat,fins and oil.  If we did not have whale sharks in our oceans they would be overrun with plankton.
