Basking Shark

The video explores the characteristics and feeding habits of basking sharks, which are unique among sharks for their diet of plankton. Despite their large size, basking sharks are filter feeders without teeth. They are highly sensitive to chemical and electrical changes in the ocean, which helps them locate plankton-rich areas. However, environmental threats like pollution and climate change are reducing plankton numbers, putting basking sharks at risk of extinction.
