How do they survive?
These animals are often hunted. Sadly, these vulnerable animals are hunted for their meat,skin,liver oil, and their fins. Vulnerable means endanger of being endangered. They are easy to hunt because they feed on plankton at the surface of the ocean while they can eat food down to 0.08 inches tall with their 300 rows of teeth they don’t even use.Whale sharks are filter feeders. All of this This leads to limited numbers of whale sharks hunted. They are also fished on accident. Also, pollution and destruction to the whale sharks habitat are threats to whale sharks. Speaking of habitat, whale sharks live in every ocean except the Southern ocean and the Arctic ocean.(They like warm water). You may think only birds do this, but whale sharks also migrate! These animals have been migrating for 60 million years and live from 60-80 years of age. Don’t you think Whale sharks deserve a thumbs up?
