The''' Basking shark''' is a large shark found in the all warm oceans. It is a filter feeder and can reach 12 meters in length and 16 tons in weight. It is the second largest shark known. They move slowly and filter water close to the surface (passing 2,000 tons of water per hour through their filter).  They are harmless to humans and do not avoid or move closer to boats. Their numbers are declining rapidly at present due to overfishing.

In 1977, the crew of the Japanese Trawler [[Zuiyo-maru]], pulled in a rotting carcass of a large animal, and were not sure if it was a whale, or a turtle without its shell.  It was thought for a time to be the remains of a [[plesiosaur]] but was eventually identified as a Basking shark.
