Researchers have attached cameras to whale sharks to observe their hunting patterns. The footage captures the largest fish in the sea engaging in "serial snacking" and chasing krill, behaviors that had never been witnessed before.

Coverage from Phys.org, NewsCop, and IFLScience emphasizes that these feeding styles surprised scientists. The Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) and The Canberra Times further describe the animals as "snackers of the sea" utilizing a "super snacking style" to consume plankton.

Future observations will focus on these newly identified feeding behaviors and the specific ways whale sharks interact with their prey.
