- The whale shark(Rhincodon typus) is the largest living cartilaginous fish, of the order Orectolobiformes. It is the sole member of the genus Rhincodon and the only extant member of the family Rhincodontidae
- It can grow to 18m long and weigh an average of 20 tons.
- These sharks are carnivorous, but they aren't likely to take a nibble out of an unwary surfer – they filter plankton through their enormous mouths while swimming at the surface
- Hence Size of Rhincodon typus or Whale Shark is 18m.
- So, the correct answer is '18m'.
