The Largest Fish in the World

What is the largest fish in the world?

It's whale shark.

Whale sharks can grow as long as 13 meters.
(The buses in Hong Kong are usually 13 meters, so imagine a fish that is as long as a bus!)

Whale sharks live in warm water, and in Asia, you can find a lot of them in the Philippines.
In the aquarium in Okinawa, Japan, there are three big whale sharks living there.

Although they are very big, they do not eat big fish.
They eat very small shrimps and plankton (very small living things floating in sea water, so small that you can't see them.)
