Off the coast of Venezuela, we encounter the whale shark - the biggest of all the fish in the ocean. In this clip, a shoal of bait fish are using the whale shark as a protective shield. However, unexpected developments are about to take place when we encounter some yellow-finned tuna

Actually, no. Fish are not mammals. Aquatic mammals (seals, dolphins, whales) are considered a different category of animal from fish (sharks, tuna, anything with fish in it's name, like a swordfish, clownfish, lionfish, etc. though the insect: silverfish does not count as an actual fish)

They call it the Whale Shark for a reason. Just as well its feeding habits are similar to whales as well, they're not much danger to humans at all. Pretty friendly to divers actually, they probably think we're funny-shaped remoras.

Scientists within biology distinguish seacreatures between mammals and fish by their way of reproduction. The rule of thumb is: Fish lay eggs, mammals carry the unviable offspring inside their own organism.

I've heard at least three different stories from different family members about spotting Whale Sharks in South Australian waters. You'd think that'd be outside their range.

MinecraftTopics, actually the blue whale isn't a fish. It is a mammal. So, the blue whale is not the biggest fish! And i have to admit that your question is really interesting.

Nature is just beautiful!
So much to see, so much to discover.
Yes, they are dangerous, but they're only trying to protect themselves from enemies, danger and from us.

This has nothing to do with religion. Now please don't post these unless you are looking for a religious argument which spams the comment section and BBCEarth's inbox.

oh i do. i just don't think that the slaughtering of one of the most vital species of the marine ecosystem is a humorous subject.

I figured plankton can't be the only food for a whale shark, because it calorie expulsion seems to be more than a blue whale.
