"Did you know that the whale shark is the largest fish in the world, growing up to 40 feet in length? Despite its name, it's not a whale, but a shark, and it can weigh up to 20 tons. The whale shark feeds on plankton, small fish, and squid, and can filter up to 1,500 gallons of water per hour. They can live up to 70 years and are found in warm waters all around the globe. Sadly, they are considered a vulnerable species due to overfishing and habitat destruction. Let's protect these gentle giants and keep them swimming in our oceans."
