Here's why:
* Diet: Whale sharks are filter feeders, meaning they consume plankton, small fish, and other tiny organisms by filtering them out of the water.
* Size: Clownfish are much too small for a whale shark to even notice, let alone eat.
* Habitat: While clownfish live in coral reefs, whale sharks are often found in open ocean waters. Their habitats rarely overlap.
So, you can rest assured that clownfish are safe from these gentle giants!
