This shark"s as big as a whale.Whale sharks aren"t whales, they"re the largest living fish-some may grow to 60 feet long. But like the largest whales, these sharks grow huge by eating tiny food. Swimming through the ocean, mouths open wide, they filter countless small plankton from the water. Whale sharks travel far and wide searching for the dense blooms of plankton that sustain them. Stunning scale model ocean replicas expertly sculpted with the collaboration of the scientists of the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey, California. This unique colletion of ocean creatures are found in the waters off the coast of the Half Moon Bay which is where the aquarium is located. It is approximately 100 miles south of San Francisco. The mission of the aquarium is to foster ocean conservation and protect it and its sea dwellers throughout the world. Safari shares this commitment with them.
