It’s #SharkWeek at NOAA … Did you know: Whale sharks are the largest non-mammal vertebrate in the world, standing out as the largest fish in existence! They are mostly solitary and nomadic, spending much of their lives wandering the high seas alone. Whale sharks can stand on their tails. Each whale shark’s spot pattern is unique as a fingerprint. Find out more about these beautiful, gentle creatures with these surprising facts: http://1.usa.gov/28YCL1U Dr. Eric Hoffmayer, a NOAA shark expert, knows a thing or two about whale sharks.
