Today, on #InternationalWhaleSharkDay, we celebrate the world’s largest fish! 🐋🦈
Despite growing to lengths approaching 65 feet, whale sharks are filter feeders, dining on plankton and other tiny organisms.

Today is #InternationalWhaleSharkDay. In the 1970s, a whale shark became trapped in the lagoon at Canton Island. Fearing that "Mini" would run out a food, a Navy Explosive Ordnance Demolition team blasted a channel through a dead coral reef so that she could escape to the ocean.

The ocean’s gentle giant = filter-feeding pro.
✅ 6,000 litres of water/hour
✅ Mouth 4 ft wide
✅ Teeth too tiny to chew
Instead, whale sharks use their gills to slurp up plankton + small fish. Nature is amazing. 🌊✨

Happy #InternationalWhaleSharkDay to one of the most beautiful fish in the sea. What new name would you choose for these gentle giants? 🐋🦈

Today is also #InternationalWhaleSharkDay – these beautiful creatures have constellation-like patterns which are as unique as fingerprints. They’re also the largest fish in the sea – reaching over 12 m in length – but they’re filter feeders so, like Earth, they’re mostly harmless.

This piece is pretty old now but I am fond of it because it is the first time I tried to do a more realistic painterly style. I had a lot to learn but it gets the point across, I think.

The whale shark, the world’s largest fish, feeds largely on the ocean’s tiniest creatures: plankton. This whale shark (aptly) appeared in the "Field Book of Giant Fishes" (1949). 🧪

Happy #InternationalWhaleSharkDay to the largest fish in the ocean! To celebrate these fintastic friends we have this illustration from 'The Natural History of the Whale Shark Rhineodon typus Smith' by E.W. Gudger, 1915. This image was originally in Smith's Illustrations of South African Zoology
