A Whale Shark and a diver (credit to Premium Vacations)
As
we know, whale is a mammal with some distinct characteristics:
-
has bones (back bone)
-
the largest marine animal on earth (could reach 100 tons)
-
warm blooded, able to regulate temperature in their body
-
breathe using lung (swim up surface to catch oxygen)
-
spare hairs on the body
-
give birth, and feed (milk) the youngs
Shark
is a fish, like other fishes have common following features:
-
cold blooded, body temperature depend on environment
-
breathe using gills
-
no hair on body
-
shark is largest fish, but smaller than whale (shark 2 ton, while
whale is 100 tons)
-
have no bones, but cartilage.
Different
of Whale Shark and Shark (credit to YouTube)
I
think that we understand the different between whale and shark. We
might have a question: why is
there
animal which living in the ocean called as “whale shark?”
The
reasons that this shark called as “whale shark,” it has
similarity with Whale in terms of:
-
both filter feeder
-
have single tail as propelling force.
-
both have a dorsal fin
However,
a Whale Shark is a shark, not a whale, not combine of shark and
whale. Just shark.
Moreover,
the Whale Shark was known to live in tropical oceans, surprisingly,
Whale Shark was reported in Florida recently, and even to be believed
to swimming up to the
New York beach.
I think I like whales more than sharks... Dolphins are my favourite :-)

I never heard of the whale shark. It's funny how much smaller it is than the blue whale. Interesting!
