Whale shark is weighting up to 15 tons.Females are larger than males (like most sharks).
The whale shark is a filter feeder that sieves small animals from the water. Whale sharks are harmless to people and usually indifferent to divers.

I have few facts about whale to add ....
Size
Blue whales can reach lengths up to about 27 meters (90 feet) long. Average sized whales may weigh 64,000 kg (142,000 pounds). Like other baleen whales, the females are a little larger than the males. Calves are about 7 meters (22 feet) long and 2,700-3,600 kg (5,900 to 7,900 pounds) at birth
What do they eat?
Like other baleen whales, blue whales are filter feeders. Blue whales primarily eat krill (a small shrimp-like animal. Their baleen is black. Depending on the size of the whale, they can have 260 to 400 plates of baleen on each side of the mouth.
Blue Whale Highlights:
Blue whales are found in all the oceans of the world. As you may have guessed, their common name, "blue whale" refers to the color of their skin. They are a bluish-gray color.
Watch me grow....You almost see a blue whale calf growing. During their first 8 months they can double in length reaching an average of 15 meters (50 feet long) and they can gain as much as 90 kg (200 pounds) a day!
