The second largest living shark species, the basking shark, feeding in the Santa Barbara Channel. 🎥: Adam Ernster Photography They are one of three filter-feeding sharks, along with the whale shark and megamouth shark, meaning they sift out small plankton (such as krill) from the water instead of relying on teeth! | Ocean Conservation Research - OCR

Here's a really nice example demonstrating the swallowing phase of a basking shark feeding. At the start you can see what looks like chewing but this is the shark gulping back the plankton that had collected on its gill rakers. We're still taking bookings for our summer season and we do have a few day trips planned for those that don't have as much time - although the longer you come for the more chances of great encounters like this! https://baskingsharkscotland.co.uk/our-tours/one-day-tours/ba
