Description		Whale sharks: Close encounter [BBC 2005-10-26] As cubera groupers aggregate to spawn, sharks gather for an easy and nutritious meal, swimming repeatedly through the shoal. They are after the eggs rather than the groupers themselves. Source: BBC - http://www.bbc.co.uk

The whale shark, Rhincodon typus, is a gentle and slow filter feeding shark that is the largest living fish species. This distinctively-marked shark is the only member of its genus Rhincodon and its family, Rhincodontidae (called Rhinodontes before 1984), which is grouped into the subclass Elasmobranchii in the class Chondrichthyes. The shark is found in tropical and warm oceans and lives in the open sea. The species is believed to have originated about 60 million years ago.
