Whale Sharks' feeding time [ caught on camera ]

It's thought that less than 10% of whale sharks born survive to adulthood, but those that do may live to 150.

Whale sharks are filter feeders and can neither bite nor chew. They can process more than 6,000 litres of water an hour through their gills. Although its mouth can stretch to four feet wide, a whale shark’s teeth are so tiny that they can only eat small shrimp, fish and plankton by using their gill rakers as a suction filter.
