Basking Shark

Basking Shark
The Basking Shark is an aquatic mob set to be released in the special Sharkweek Release, at some point in August.

In Game Information:
Basking Sharks spawn in the Ocean biome. They have 35 hearts and will flee when attacked. Most of the time they spawn by themselves but rarely they can spawn in pairs. They will suffocate if they are on land. They drop 6-8 pieces of Shark Meat

They can be healed with Plankton, but like the other SharkWeek sharks, they cannot be tamed or healed. They need to be placed in a cold water aquarium. They do not need to be enriched.

Real Life Information:
In real life, Basking Sharks live in temperate waters around the world. There are major populations around the UK and Canada. They are the second largest shark species. They are no classified as endangered, due to their declining population due to poaching and slow breeding process.
