The basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) is the second largest living fish, after the whale shark, and one of three plankton-eatingsharks besides the whale shark and megamouth shark. It is a cosmopolitanmigratoryspecies, found in all the world's temperate oceans. It is a slow-moving filter feeder; its common name derives from its habit of feeding at the surface, appearing to be basking in the warmer water there. It has anatomical adaptations for filter feeding, such as a greatly enlarged mouth and highly developed gill rakers. Its snout is conical and the gill slits extend around the top and bottom of its head. The gill rakers, dark and bristle-like, are used to catch plankton as water filters through the mouth and over the gills. The basking shark is usually greyish-brown, with mottled skin. The caudal (tail) fin has a strong lateral keel and a crescent shape. The teeth of the basking shark are very small and numerous, and often number one hundred per row. The teeth have a single conical cusp, are curved backwards, and are the same on both the upper and lower jaws. Adults typically reach 6–8m (20–26ft) in length.
Basking sharks have weird ways of ridding themselves of parasites.

Basking sharks that feed on plankton and are still alive today were also found to be warm-blooded, which was interesting because they’re slow, sluggish swimmers – a trait typically associated with cold-blooded animals.
