About This Project
Whale sharks are known to mostly feed on many kinds of plankton, however when conditions are right whale sharks also feed on fish. Considering fish are more mobile, why do whale sharks exert effort to feed on prey more difficult to capture than plankton? Waters surrounding Bahia de Los Angeles, Mexico are home to whale sharks that have been observed feeding on fish. New observations will be made to try to understand hunting strategies whale sharks use to capture fish.
