completely harmless...you would have to swimming in the open ocean in a school of krill for you to get accidentally caught in its mouth. Its a pelagic shark it does not come near land.
More closer to a blue whale than a shark in its habits and feeding.
The basking shark is the second biggest shark (Whale Shark is first). Both the two largest sharks are also the largest fish and both are completely harmless, plankton feeders. But not all large sharks are docile....the Tiger Shark and Great White can both exceed 20 ft. and are known man eaters.....
