Whale Shark Facts 

Whale sharks especially love the warm water of the Sea of Cortez. Whale sharks are giant fish that reach the size of a standard yellow school bus when mature. Adult whale sharks are around 40 feet long, which is the equivalent of around 12 meters in length. The gentle giants are very graceful and enjoy allowing divers and snorkelers to get close to them. While on a whale shark tour, always follow the instructions of your guide. In terms of what they eat, whale sharks primarily consume tiny plankton and fish eggs. As they swim, they filter feed by opening their giant mouths. Whale sharks are one of only three species of filter-feeding sharks. During your adventure, you may also see sea turtles, dolphins, humpback whales, and manta rays, too.
