Whale Shark

Whale sharks are the biggest known fish,
Growing up to forty feet long,
Up to fifty thousand poundish,
They must eat good food to stay strong.
Studies of their diets do show
That the whale shark is omnivore,
Eating animals and plants, so
Ready food supply is galore.
So not bloodthirsty as their kin,
These gentle giants pick and choose
What food to eat and where and when,
As through the oceans they do cruise.

The whale shark's catch of this day be
A tasty salad of algae.
