If the #OceanTwilightZone had a yearbook, the basking shark would definitely be named “Most Chill.” This massive shark gets its relaxed reputation from the way it seems to “bask” in warm surface waters, in almost every ocean around the world.

The second largest living shark species, the basking shark, feeding in the Santa Barbara Channel. 🎥: Adam Ernster Photography They are one of three filter-feeding sharks, along with the whale shark and megamouth shark, meaning they sift out small plankton (such as krill) from the water instead of relying on teeth! | Ocean Conservation Research - OCR

A very special sighting of a BASKING SHARK for us, on our Santa Cruz Island trip Sunday! Kristin Campell captured this rare drone video of this shark "grazing" on zooplankton, mouth wide open. The population of Basking Shaks in the Eastern North Pacific is as low as 300-500 animals, and they are sighted only periodically in southern California. Historical estimates were as high as 3,000-5,000, but their populations have not recovered despite decades since any significant harvesting. | Pacific Of
