How much do you think it costs to ship a whale shark?
Whale sharks' lifespans are estimated to be between 80 and 130 years, based on studies of their vertebral growth bands and the growth rates of free-swimming sharks. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] Whale sharks have very large mouths and are filter feeders, which is a feeding mode that occurs in only two other sharks, the megamouth shark and the basking shark .
Choice of aquarium substrate is also important because a sharp, rough bed can irritate a shark's soft underbelly, or in severe cases lead to fatal infections. [7] Shark aquaria are generally advised to be decorated "conservatively" in order to leave space for the animal to move more freely during daily activities.
