Say 'Ahh'! This basking shark knows how to enjoy a mouthful of plankton buffet in style!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Alex Mustard, we witness the majestic Basking Shark (Cetorhinus maximus) indulging in its favorite meal - plankton. With its enormous mouth wide open, it seems like this gentle giant is saying "Ahh" as it filters through the abundant surface waters near the picturesque island of Coll in Scotland's Inner Hebrides. The sheer size and grace of this cartilaginous fish are truly awe-inspiring. As one of the largest fish species on Earth, reaching lengths up to 40 feet, it effortlessly glides through the Atlantic Ocean with elegance and finesse. Its facial expression caught on camera adds an element of humor to this already incredible shot. June marks the perfect time for these magnificent creatures to feast on their preferred delicacy - tiny organisms that make up plankton. The crystal-clear water surrounding Coll Island provides an ideal backdrop for witnessing such a remarkable display of nature's wonders. So next time you're feeling hungry, just remember: even sharks know how to savor a good meal! And if you ever find yourself exploring Scotland's stunning coastline, keep your eyes peeled for these fascinating marine giants gracefully feeding on their underwater banquet.
