Happy #whalesharkday! 🐋🦈
Let’s kick off this jawsome day by sharing some fascinating Whale Shark facts:
🦈Their patterns are unique as a human fingerprint.
🐋Their HUGE mouth expands up to 1.5m wide.
🦈They're one-of-three filter-feeding sharks.
Sadly, Whale Sharks are classed as Endangered by the IUCN mainly due to fisheries, bycatch losses, and vessel strikes.
