Common Questions
common question image

Are whale sharks whales or sharks?

Despite their name, whale sharks are sharks, not whales. In fact, they’re the biggest fish in the ocean! They do share some similarities with whales, however, including the way they eat by filtering food from the water via large filter pads in their mouth, and their sheer size.

How much does a whale shark weigh?

Most whale sharks weigh around 41,000 lb (18,600 kg)—about 20 tons! That’s roughly the same as 4 adult African bull elephants.

What color is a whale shark?

Whale shark coloring ranges from a blue-gray to a gray-brown, with a white belly and a constellation of light gray or white spots. Their spot patterns are totally unique to each individual, just like our fingerprints.

Are whale sharks friendly?

Whale sharks are commonly referred to as gentle giants and can even appear playful and curious. While it’s safe to swim with them, it’s still important for any adventurer to keep their distance and not touch wildlife.

Why is the whale shark endangered?

Whale sharks currently face threats from accidental entanglement in fishing nets, ingestion of debris in the ocean, boat strikes, and in some instances, opportunistic fishing by humans and unregulated tourism. Each of these contributes to their endangered status on the IUCN Red List.

How do whale sharks sleep?

Like many shark species, whale sharks need to keep moving in order to continue pushing water through their gills to breathe. So while they don’t truly fall asleep, they will rest periodically while drifting on currents and moving along slowly. Like dolphins, they can also allow half of their brains to “sleep” while the other half stays alert and aware of their surroundings.

How many teeth do whale sharks have?

Whale sharks boast nearly 3,000 tiny teeth! It’s too bad they don’t need to use them, as these giant fish only fill their bellies by filter-feeding some of the ocean’s smallest organisms, including plankton, crustaceans, and small fish.

How many whale sharks are left in the wild?

Whale sharks may be large, but they’re also quite elusive. This makes it tough to determine exactly how many are left in the ocean, though researchers estimate that only around 130,000–200,000 remain.

How do I wash my whale shark plush?

Wipe with a damp cloth or sponge, using warm water and mild soap. Once dry, brush to restore the plush and proceed with snuggling.

My plush arrived a little misshapen, what do I do?

Your plush had quite the long journey to get to you! If it appears squished from lack of legroom during shipping, give it a good fluff to help it return to its normal, cuddly shape. Still need help? Email us at support@myfahlo.com.
