The whale shark, or Rhincodon typus, is an endangered animal found in the ocean. It weighs around 11 tons, has a length of up to 60 feet, and females give birth to live young. However, this has not yet been seen, and where baby whale sharks are found is still a mystery. Whale sharks feed on plankton, and are found in all tropical regions of the ocean. The pattern of spots which whale sharks have are like fingerprints to us humans, each pattern of spots is unique to a whale sharks and allows them to be identified. However, the whale shark is threatened by bycatching and by hunters as they are highly valued on the international market.
