Did you know whale sharks are filter feeders? Despite the fact that they have thousands of teeth, they do not use them to eat. They have about 3,000 teeth; they even have teeth on their eyes. They reach lengths of more than 40 ft and almost 50,000 lbs, this means they are longer than a school bus. Whale sharks spend much of their time swimming with an open mouth, sifting tiny plankton, fish, and sometimes an unlucky squid through their gills to get the energy and nutrients they need. Like human fingerprints, whale sharks have a unique pattern of spots that allow individual sharks to be identified.Tourism and whale shark fishing industries are threats to whale shark populations, so they are classified as endangered. We can do our part to protect whale sharks by choosing sustainable and responsibly fished seafood, and choosing tourism operators that educate their guests and minimize their impact on the environment and the animals they take visitors to see.

We donate 10% of bracelet sales towards cleaning up ocean plastic. Thank you.
