As you might not know, the whale shark lives in tropical locations. First, whale sharks migrate long distances. Also, whale sharks can dive as deep as 6,000 feet. That’s really deep for a shark that lives close to the surface! At one spot at the Gulf of Mexico over 400 whale sharks were found eating. That’s a lot of whale sharks at one spot! Whale sharks are found all over the planet.They’re mostly found near the coastlines. They’re also most playful in the Gulf of Mexico than anywhere else. They mostly live in between Gulf of Mexico and the Indonesian Islands. I would like to be there with them. As you can tell Whale sharks are very strong swimmers. Sort of like fish but bigger and stronger. As you can see, whale sharks are unique fish.
