Whale Sharks (Webisode 18) Back to Webisodes »

Summary

Jonathan travels to Holbox, Mexico in search of the massive whale shark—the world’s largest fish.  Reaching 50 feet long, these animals grow larger than a school bus, but they are completely harmless since they eat only plankton and small fish.  Jonathan gets up close and personal to a mouth the size of a small car in his investigation to discover why so many whale sharks visit Holbox every summer.
