Best Answer

The whale shark is not a predator in the same way as other sharks. It feeds on tiny ocean creatures, typically targeting plankton, though it is known to eat other small ocean creatures as well. The amount of food a whale shark consumes depends on the size of this fish, but a large specimen can easily eat a ton or more of food per day.

Can a shark eat a whale shark Are sharks cannibals?

Sharks can not eat whale sharks as whale sharks are proportionally bigger than sharks. Sharks may scavenge off dead whale sharks but the probability of live whale sharks being eaten is highly unlikely. Some species of shark are cannibals and babies will often eat each other while inside the womb.______________________________________________________________________________Just a short note to remind whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) were contemporaneous with C. Megalodon, and in the same waters.That contributed for the whale shark to be included in the megalodon's menu although they have been extinct for millions of years.
