The whale shark is a slow-moving, filter-feeding carpet shark and the largest known extant fish species. The largest confirmed individual had a length of 18.8 m. The whale shark holds many records for size in the animal kingdom, most notably being by far the most massive living non-cetacean animal.
A warty pig most commonly refers to the critically endangered Visayan warty pig (Sus cebifrons) from the Philippines, characterized by its "warts" (facial protuberances in males), mane, and stripes. It is also a common name for the Javan warty pig (Sus verrucosus) of Indonesia, which faces significant threats from hunting and habitat loss.
