It's a whale! It's a shark! It's not a whale at all, it's the biggest fish in the sea! It's a whale shark! 

On this episode we get way too silly talking about filter feeding, the differences between whales and sharks, and just how big these sharks are. (Hint: super big.)

Thanks to Miles for the suggestion, along with previous suggesters Theo and Nadia.
