So How Would One Transport the World's Largest Fish?
Holy moly, look how big that Whale Shark is! In case you've forgotten, it's the same creature held in the world's biggest fish tank and is the largest living species of cartilaginous fish.
So how do you transport two (!) of these gigantic specimens?
That's a Big Fishie Tank!
If you wanted to visit the world's largest fish tank, you'd have to go to Okinawa, Japan, home of the "Kuroshio Sea," otherwise known as the Churaumi Aquarium. Their fish tank is so humongous, it holds four whale sharks – the biggest fish alive!
Not only is the local sea life that's housed in the tank beautiful to look at, but the observation window at the Churaumi is a marvel on its own.

Creature Features: Manatee

Out and About: Georgia's Georgia Aquarium
With over eight million gallons of water housing more than 100,000 animals of 500 species, the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta is one of the largest in the world. Residents include two massive Whale Sharks – check out that huge mouth up above! Capable of weighing up to 15 tons, these "gentle giants" are filter feeders meaning they live off of plankton and animals, scooped up in bucket-like fashion with their four-foot-wide mouths.
