Scientific name: Cetorhinus maximus Location: Santa Barbara Channel, near Carpenteria, California Copyright: © Chuck Davis / Tidal Flats, Ltd. Photographer Code: SHK0281014 AGPix ID: AGPix_ChDaTiFl26_0088 Photo Alignment: 35mm (horizontal) Comments: Basking sharks are harmless to human beings; although they are the world's second largest "fish," they have tiny teeth and use their seive-like gill rakers to feed on the ocean's tiniest creatures -- plankton.
