Heading 1: Description- Giant Fish
Whale sharks may look terrifying, but they are surprisingly gentle. Don't think these sharks are dangerous because they’re very gentle FISH. People can swim very close to the whale shark and still be safe. Thats amazing how the whale sharks don't attack! These strange animals often swim with their mouth wide open. Their mouths can fit a whole person into their mouths when they have it open! They have very sharp scales. Their skin is usually bluish, grayish, or brownish. The whale sharks have a unusual cream colored checkerboard pattern on their backs. Scientists think the pattern could be for camouflage, but adults are so large that they don't need to camouflage from predators. As you can see, these animals are large, neat, and kinda cute.
