Enter: the world’s biggest fish.
Here’s five things to need to know this International Whale Shark Day:
🦈They are sharks, not whales.
🦐🥬They are the world’s largest om-nom-nom-nivores (which we helped to discover!)
🚌They can reach up to 18m – about as long as a banana bus!
💪Girls are bigger than boys (we helped work that out too!)
🧑🔬They are endangered (we’re working on this one)
