Rethinking Ocean Predators

Meet the ocean’s largest fish

The ocean is home to many of Earth’s most iconic and often feared predators. But did you know that some of the largest are actually gentle giants that feed on the tiniest prey?

Join us to learn about whale sharks, basking sharks, and more—and what predators can teach us about how the ocean works.

For our Zoom viewers: Ocean Encounters events now feature American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation.
