What are some interesting fact about whale sharks?

Whale sharks are the largest fish species, capable of reaching lengths of up to 40 feet (12 meters) or more. Despite their size, they are gentle giants, primarily feeding on plankton and small fish through a filter-feeding system. These sharks are known for their unique pattern of spots and stripes, which are as individual as human fingerprints. Interestingly, whale sharks are migratory and often travel long distances to find food-rich waters and breeding grounds.
