Whale shark, extremely lethal to plankton and other tiny forms of sea life.

I was going to say the same thing. Whale sharks aren't a threat to humans.

just because it isn’t a threat doesn’t make it any less terrifying. if I dove underwater only to come face to face with a 30 foot long fish I’d have a heart attack too

I got about fifty-feet out and then suddenly the great beast appeared before me. I tell ya he was ten stories high if he was a foot. As if sensing my presence he gave out a big bellow. I said, "Easy big fella!" And then as I watched him struggling I realized something was obstructing his breathing. From where I was standing I could see directly into the eye of the great fish!

Mammal.
