Made of solid, shiny plastic by Safari, Ltd., one of the best names in plastic animals, this whale shark's superior design and details make it a museum-quality replica or collector's item, and yet the price puts it in range for the average collector of plastic animals. It measures 9 3/4 inches from nose to tail. The word "WHALE SHARK" is embossed on the underside. It comes with an informational tag in French, Italian, Spanish, German, and English that includes shark facts. This sturdy, durable shark is also excellent for school projects, novelties, party favors or even as a children's toy. Our plastic whale shark is for decoration or play only. It does not float, and should NOT be put in your aquarium. However, you can make an impressive shark shoebox diorama using this and other plastic aquatic creatures and mammals, sharks, fish, sea turtles, and birds from our gift shop. Check out our terrific selection of plastic sharks.
The words "whale shark" call to mind images of a huge, ferocious beast preying on whales, but nothing could be further from the truth. This solitary, slow moving creature's name refers to it's size. At up to 50 feet and 16 tons, the whale shark (Rhincodon typus) is not only the largest shark but also the largest fish in the world. The trademark wide mouth opens amazingly wide to scoop up plankton, small squid, small fish and krill. Check out the photos at Extreme Science. Because of its quiet, gentle nature, it has become a favorite among divers. It seems to pay no attention at all when divers touch or climb on it. The whale shark can be found in tropical waters world wide.
