I'm interested in the feeding habits of basking sharks. I know they are filter-feeders, but any idea how they obtain their food? How big of a diet would they need to grow to that size?

Also, do they have any natural predators in the sea?

One would be that they are usually man-eaters. The reality is that very few of them are aggressive towards humans.

I believe 1 in 4 shark species are endangered because they're hunted down by people. Sharks have probably killed less than 10 million people throughout history, but humans kill more sharks than that in one year.
