Whale Fish Tapestries
Description: A detailed watercolor illustration of a breaching whale tail made up of marine animals found on the west coast, showing their connection in habitat, with splattered water. Includes a dolphin, seal, eel, fish, squid, shark, turtle, stingray, sea lion, octopus, jellyfish, seahorse, and more.
Description: Whale sharks spend around 7.5 hours per day feeding on sergestid shrimps and fish eggs as well as krill, jellies, copepods, coral spawn, and small fishes! A whale shark filters food from the water by “cross-flow filtration,” which means the particles do not catch on the filter. Rather, water is directed away through the gills while particles carry on towards the back of the mouth
