The Whale Shark is the world's largest fish with the potential of growing up to 65 feet at a weight of over 10 tons. However while many people think that the larger the animal the more dangerous it is, the Whale Shark is a filter feeder, sifting tiny organisms out of the ocean's water such as plankton and fish eggs, and is harmless to humans despite the fact that it has 3000 tiny teeth. If you ever happened to be swallowed by this fish, it would proceed to "throw you up", turning its stomach inside out to expel you out if its mouth. This process is called gastric eversion.
