Despite living in the water, whales breathe air. And like humans, they are warm-blooded mammals who nurse their young. A thick layer of fat called blubber insulates them from cold ocean waters. Some whales are known as baleen whales including blue, right, bowhead, sei and gray whales. This refers to the fact that they have special bristle-like structures in their mouths (called baleen) that strains food from the water.
The skin of an adult whale shark can be as thick as 4 inches (10 cm) and has the consistency of strong rubber, which limits possible predators to killer whales, great white sharks, tiger sharks and humans. Color. Whale shark has a two-toned pattern of light spots on its dark gray back with a white underside. Each whale shark has its own individual spot pattern; like human fingerprints, no two are exactly alike. Teeth. Teeth of the whale shark are tiny and pointed backward; they are thought to have no function in feeding.
