Most weather Maldives whale sharks grow to lengths of around 10 meters (about 32 feet), although the largest on record measured over 41 feet and a 40-foot whale shark is not uncommon. At its widest point, the mouth, the width of a whale shark is usually around 3 to 5 feet. Whale shark width remains fairly constant until halfway down the body, when the fish tapers off to a slender tail.
