The gills are not visible, they are hidden by the coat on both sides of the foot.
This species feeds on sponges.
Some sharks can stay motionless on the sand (white tips reef sharks, nurse sharks, etc.).
These sharks don't have to swim to bring oxygen to their gills like other sharks (grey, hammerheads tc.)
Turtles are in economy mode when they are sleeping. If they are woken during night, they may not have enough air to return to surface.
So, please be careful during night dives!
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
