Basking shark
Cetorhinus maximus
Description
The Basking shark is the second-largest fish living on Earth, only smaller than the Whale shark. Even though it might look dangerous, it's quite the opposite. These amazing plankton-eating animals can live either as lone wolves or in groups of up to 100!
