Basking shark video

bbc_shark1_226The BBC website has a short video from Dan Burton of basking sharks arriving off Cornwall as part of their annual migration. Even though hundreds are now arriving, they are still pretty difficult to spot.

Like their larger cousins, whale sharks, these 7 ton giants are plankton feeders. It is now believed that they come up to the UK to breed.

Go to the BBC website and take a look.
