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
Description: The goblin shark differs from other shark species by having a flattened snout that protrudes from the top of its head. Its jaw is protruding, and the inside contains 35 to 53 rows of upper teeth and 31 to 62 rows of lower teeth! Sightings of goblin sharks are very rare and indicate that the species lives in waters on continental platforms and slopes, at depths of 1,300-1,370 meters.
Description: Like most eagle species, the female “harpy” is almost twice as large as the male. he larger females tend to take sloths and monkeys; the smaller, more agile and faster males tend to take more quantities of smaller food items. This increases the pair’s odds of eating on a regular basis.
