Our Ocean Life this week is enlarged by the Basking Shark.
The Basking Shark is the second largest fish in the world. Despite the intimidating impression, basking sharks are quite harmless. They are filter feeders that eat tiny, planktonic prey. Many biological aspects of the basking sharks are still a complete mystery.
