How do gills extract oxygen from H2o?
Whale shark gills are similar in structure to other fish gills. Oxygenated water is passed over the gills which have a rich, near surface blood supply and gases are exchanged between the blood and the water. The gills are feathery and have a large surface area so that there is enough gas exchange to keep the fish supplied with the oxygen it needs.
