CollectA 88453 Whale Shark

CollectA’s lifelike Whale Shark beautifully depicts the unique spotted pattern typically on each of these large fish. The spots are as unique as a fingerprint and have helped scientists identify and follow hundreds of individual sharks. Reaching about 40 feet in length, the Whale Shark is the largest shark and the largest living fish in the world. The Whale Shark’s mouth opens to be approximately 3 – 4 feet in diameter. These huge sharks are filter feeders and feed on plankton and small fish, which they strain through their gills. They are harmless to people and usually ignore divers. Scientists believe that Whale Sharks may live up to 100 years or longer. The Whale Shark figure is detailed and realistic, a perfect addition to your child’s collection.
