The whale shark is a kind of shark, and it is the largest shark and the largest fish. However, they are not like those very fierce sharks we usually know, their character is relatively mild, basically no threat to human beings. They will not eat humans as their food, or even some of the larger organisms in the water as their food, they will only eat some plankton, plants or small fish. However, although they are not threatening, it is better to observe them from a distance rather than touch them at will.
As mentioned above, whale sharks are generally not a threat to humans, but it is best not to touch them. For one thing, this is because whale sharks are not used to being touched. If we touch them, even if we accidentally touch their tails or other smaller parts, they are more sensitive and may not migrate to the place where they have been touched for a long time. Secondly, although whale sharks do not eat humans as food, it is still risky to provoke them, and touching them may make them feel threatened, so it is better not to take risks.
