Basking Shark – Sharkagh Greiney
The largest shark in Manx seas, reaching up to 12m in length, the
Basking Shark survives on a diet of zooplankton which they filter out of the
water, swimming slowly back and forth with their enormous mouths wide open.
Seen in the waters around the Isle of Man in the summer months, the sharks are
a protected species of international significance.
