The spotted moray eel is solitary and feeds during the day.
She keeps her mouth open but closes it occasionally, possibly to get the water through her gills and improve her oxygen supply.
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.)
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!
