<!--The whale shark is an active feeder, targeting concentrations of plankton or fish. It is able to ram filter feed or can gulp in a stationary position. The shark can circulate water at a rate up to 1.7 L/s (3.5 U.S. pint/s).{{Citation needed|date=March 2007}} This is in contrast to the passive feeding [[basking shark]], which does not pump water. Instead, it swims to force water across its gills.<ref name="fishbase" /><ref name="RQBM" />-->
