A whale sharks do not hunt for their food.They use a process called filter feeding.Which is when water flows towards their gills,the filter pads catch the small animals and plants that go in the mouth. A whale sharks eat krill which is almost like shrimp their favorite food to eat.The whale sharks may also eat small fish,squid,plants,fish eggs and occasionally big fish.Whale sharks swallow anything that goes into their mouth including the ocean trash in the sea.My opinion is that we should stop pollution from hurting the whale sharks.the whale shark is not a considered a predators.Whale shark probably find their food by smell.The location of the whale shark's nostrils and eyes are near the top of their heads.
