Creature of the day: The Basking Shark 🦈 🦈 The basking shark is the second-largest living shark and fish, after the whale shark. It is one of three plankton-eating shark species, along with the whale shark and megamouth shark. Typically, basking sharks reach 7.9 m in length, but large individuals have been known to grow more than 10 m long (33 ft). Basking sharks feed on tiny animals in the ocean, such plankton, as well as fish eggs, jellyfish, and crustaceans. They filter huge volumes of wate

A very special sighting of a BASKING SHARK for us, on our Santa Cruz Island trip Sunday! Kristin Campell captured this rare drone video of this shark "grazing" on zooplankton, mouth wide open. The population of Basking Shaks in the Eastern North Pacific is as low as 300-500 animals, and they are sighted only periodically in southern California. Historical estimates were as high as 3,000-5,000, but their populations have not recovered despite decades since any significant harvesting. | Pacific Of

One of the highlights of snorkeling in the Hebrides during summer is seeing the vast schools of sand eels. Usually we spot them in shallow sandy bays with good visibility. This means conditions for us to see them underwater are fantastic. As much as it’s amazing to watch them pulsate in giant bait balls, these tiny fish are very important. They are a major food source for many other animals. Feeding everything from the biggest whales to seals, seabirds and many other fish. | Basking Shark Scotla

Is this a basking shark?? Today is international Darwin Day, the day to remember the naturalist Charles Darwin. Renowned for his work on evolution by natural selection. It’s interesting to bring up the basking shark in this context. Far too long for a subject for social media post, but a few quick fire facts! Did you know basking sharks are classified in the same order as predatory sharks such as white sharks, makos and porbeagles. They share similar fin arrangement and work is continuing on the

Basking sharks: 10 things everybody should know

Happy Valentine’s Day! 💙Did you know that as well as coming to the Hebrides for food, there has been a number of basking shark behaviours suggested to be courtship. Although mating has never been captured on camera just yet, it thought to happen during shark aggregations. Here’s one example where there could be something going on, two sharks and feeding in a circle but another one is close following, deeper down and non-feeding. It’s just a short clip of course so there is more to see on the cl

Shark shock – scientists discover filter-feeding basking sharks are warm-bodied like great whites

Now we’ve seen these basking sharks in all their giant mouth glory, let’s take a closer look at their anatomy. For such a large animal, their eyes aren’t very big. It’s thought their eyesight isn’t used to detect plankton in the water so the eyes are just used to dodge strange objects (like me!) and determine the light level. Just behind the eyes is their brain. Poet Norman MacCaig described basking sharks as, 'That roomsized monster with a matchbox brain'. Despite being able to grow to more tha

Did you know the Basking Shark (Cetorhinus maximus) is the second-largest fish in the world, reaching up to 10 meters in length? Despite their immense size, these gentle giants are harmless to humans - they’re filter feeders, gracefully gliding through the water while consuming vast amounts of plankton. In fact, they can filter an astounding 130,000 gallons of water per hour! But this behaviour is more than just i

Deep Sea Footage on Instagram: "The basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) is the second-largest fish in the world, after the whale shark, and can grow up to 12 meters (40 feet) long and weigh over 5 tons. Found in temperate oceans worldwide, it’s a filter feeder, swimming with its enormous mouth open to capture plankton, small fish, and invertebrates. Inside its mouth are hundreds of tiny gill rakers that strain food from the water. Despite their size, basking sharks are slow swimmers, usually crui
