This fish is often seen in pairs, often with different fur colors.
He is regularly seen in strange positions (head down, head up, etc.)
Mammals have a horizontal tail.
Fishes have a vertical fin.
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
