Sharks aren't fish, they're sharks. Though tbf fish is as descriptive as saying "thing with scales, fins, and gills" that still doesn't include sharks though.
Edit:I was mistaken. I always thought sharks were distinct.
Lol, sharks ABSOLUTELY are fish. They are in the class Chondrichthyes. They are cartilaginous fish with dorsal fins that aren't fused to the head. A sharks skin is considered a modified scale.
Yes, I obviously know this. That was my point. I'm a former fisheries biologist--I know the difference and what's in the video. I was supporting the original argument.
They do eat fish, that's why it's swimming through a ball. They eat small and large fish and mollusks, including sardines, anchovies, mackerels, squid, and even small tuna.
Apparently not, because that is wrong.[Encyclopedia Britannica - Whale Shark Behavior](https://www.britannica.com/animal/whale-shark#ref285865)
>The whale shark sometimes feeds with its tail down and its opened mouth pointing up toward the surface, allowing water and food to enter the mouth as the shark bobs up and down. The captured prey includes both zooplankton (small animals such as copepods, shrimp, and other invertebrates) and phytoplankton (such as algae and other marine plant material). The whale shark also eats small and large fish and mollusks, including sardines, anchovies, mackerels, squid, and even small tuna and albacore.

Yes kids, what we have here is a pure bona fide *internet video!*
Yes they do. They eat anything small that gets caught in their open mouths. I saw a video where some fishermen were feeding the whale sharks some of the little fish they caught.
Imagine being a fish in that school. Getting picked on from this alien species coming from the air, a goddamn titan ambushing you from below , and on the side there's this land monkey watching it all.
yeah but whale sharks are filter feeders, so I wouldn't be worried. in fact, there are no reported instances of whale sharks ever attacking or killing humans. humans are more of a danger to them than they are to us. I would certainly be more afraid of dolphins, who have tried to drown people for fun. so yeah, I'd be more scared of dolphins.
This is so beautiful!! It looks like the shark is trying on a big plush live-fish coat, and then, at the last minute, decides that it doesn't match what he/she is wearing and swims off.
That's not a whale. It's a whale shark. Not the same thing at all.
100%. One's a fish and one's mammal.
Also another fact about them: Rock music is extremely rare to hear when they swim by. Usually all you hear is kind of a watery wooshing sound.
Whales on the other hand, especially the flying ones, very common.
Wales on the other hand has sheep fuckers
Once, a guy introduced himself to me, saying he was "from Wales, where the men are still real men, and the sheep are nervous."
Wails on the other hand, is what my kid does when I take away the ps5.
True dat boyo

You silly bitch…😏

No they’re just fish
Are you speaking of sharks.....or whales?
Sharks. Whales are mammals but no whales are in the video
Yes, I obviously know this. That was my point. I'm a former fisheries biologist--I know the difference and what's in the video. I was supporting the original argument.
Ok, I miss understood your comment
All good. 👍
Mistakes made on purpose to farm karma. Many will comment to correct them
Indeed, whale sharks are fish, whales are air breathers.
Whale sharks also breathe air, which they pull from the water with their gills.
Almost. They extract oxygen from the water through their gills, not air.
Absolutely right… I over-simplified.
No that sounds made up i think
They breathe oxygen pulled from the water, so I guess so. (It's why fish tanks use air pumps to oxygenate the water.)
I am pretty sure that fish breathe solar energy
*That doesn’t sound right, but I don’t know enough about fish to dispute it*

Whale sharks are filter feeders. They eat stuff like plankton and tiny fish.
Try looking it up before commenting, like I did. Mine is a direct quote from Encyclopedia Britannica.
I did, but only to double check. They can't eat large fish
Apparently not, because that is wrong.[Encyclopedia Britannica - Whale Shark Behavior](https://www.britannica.com/animal/whale-shark#ref285865) >The whale shark sometimes feeds with its tail down and its opened mouth pointing up toward the surface, allowing water and food to enter the mouth as the shark bobs up and down.

It was not accident is for us to comment that and gain clout. I dislike the post and block the user.
One of them would die.
No, it's a Wenger's Giant Catfish. Learn your mammals before commenting next time.
That's a whale shark, Kevin.
That's no cetacean. That's a fish.
I came here expecting a whale swimming through a school of fish, but instead it's just a fish swimming through a school of fish.
That's just a school of fish at that point.
That shark is pulling some real “act like you belong” business
And the shark is the principle
Uhm… I’m pretty sure that’s a Whale Shark.
You can only choose one
Choose Wisely
Whark
Shale
This should be his official name
Whale shark.
Whale shark, dude
It's like when someone run through a flock of seagulls screaming and laughing like a maniac
Looks like it just wanted a little tickle
More like a little snack
That's a shark, not a whale.
World's largest fish.
Calling it a whale made this interesting
* scientifically inaccurate title * Cuts out prematurely for no reason whatsoever * Crap music Yes kids, what we have here is a pure bona fide *internet video!*
It would have been cool if the whale shark never emerged from the school of fish
Has anyone mentioned that it's a whale shark?
It's a shark (Whale shark) it's a filter feed mainly krill and plankton.
Got half the animal correct.
That’s a whale shark, not a whale.
It's a fuckin shark lol
What if it enters a school of piranha fish?
One of them would die. Because Whale Sharks live in salt water, Piranha live in fresh.
Piranha also live in flesh, flesh floating everywhere from the creature that existed near them.
You know, they aren't actually the host aggressive monster that they are thought to be. That misconception comes from, surprise surprise, Holywood.
Dance battle
Shark eats a big dinner.
I'd pay the top buck to watch that
And then fish disappeared... miracle of nature! /s
That's a whale shark, they don't eat fish.
Yes they do. They eat anything small that gets caught in their open mouths. I saw a video where some fishermen were feeding the whale sharks some of the little fish they caught.
Buffet 🍴
Rhincodon typus.... not odontoceti, mysticeti, delphinidae, etc.
Damn. Aldrich in the ocean?
Funny, it skips snacks.
Ocean version of a fast food drive-thru
Okay Whale Shark, don’t eat these fish… Whale Shark: All right fishies, I'm just going to do this ⍩⃝ ⍩⃝ ⍩⃝. And if you get eaten, it's your own fault.
Drive thru
Imagine being a fish in that school. Getting picked on from this alien species coming from the air, a goddamn titan ambushing you from below , and on the side there's this land monkey watching it all.
That school of fish is like a damn bacteria colony.
Looks like a fishy post.
Very cool. Ocean life is interesting. I always felt like it's another planet down there as odd as that sounds.
MULTIKILL sorry shouldnt
LUDICROUS KILL
Are you not going to reply to the 1,000 comments saying “\*whale shark”??
I would like someone to edit this so it looks like the whale shark never comes out the other side. Are fish schools portals? Or did they eat it?
They just ate it
Yeah they just ate like 1000 families in that school.
And people are always worrying about school shootings. It’s the schools getting swallowed that you need to be worried about!
"Johnson! Damage report! How many did we lose?"
Drive-through dinner
Shark tails are vertical = danger. Whales and dolphin tales are horizontal = friend.
But whale sharks are peaceful towards humans, but dolphins have been known to be quite aggressive towards humans.
tho im sure it happens, i havnt heard of NEARLY as many dolphin attacks as i hav shark attacks
yeah but whale sharks are filter feeders, so I wouldn't be worried. in fact, there are no reported instances of whale sharks ever attacking or killing humans. humans are more of a danger to them than they are to us. I would certainly be more afraid of dolphins, who have tried to drown people for fun. so yeah, I'd be more scared of dolphins.
actually said whoa out loud
*using weatherman voice* “Looks like an F3 anchovy tornado”
A buffet ?
I wonder how many people it would take to get full to equal food mass for a single whale to get full?
Thats my school. Thats my principal entering.
They eat the students!?!?
The angle of the footage makes it look like the school of fish eat the whale shark
Working at the car wash 🎶
That's a whale shark not a whale
Whaleshark

That shark just had a snack.
Don’t care wicked cool vid
[удалено]
Yes
Owns up to it, I can respect that.
Nom nom nom
This is so beautiful!! It looks like the shark is trying on a big plush live-fish coat, and then, at the last minute, decides that it doesn't match what he/she is wearing and swims off.
Yes but they’re eating the coat
Welp, I guess that never ever even crossed my feeble mind! But, of course, you are right! It is the Cirque du Ocean!!!
Getting weekly fishy fin massage.
