A heavy duty shark with the widest mouth
 
— In-game description.

The Basking Shark is one of the many sharks added into Hungry Shark World and is one of the 4 XXL tier sharks in the game alongside The Frenzy, the Great White Shark, and the Whale Shark. Since it has a very wide mouth, it can be used to offensively rampage through many creatures in the water, as well as out of water.



Pros and Cons[]

Pros:[]

  • Very large mouth capable of eating large amounts of fish at once
  • Very large diet and high health
  • Can maneuver on land quite well
  • Reasonable speed

Cons:[]

  • It has the lowest speed in the class XXL
  • Can get stuck in tight spaces, like the Swimming Pool
  • Large size makes it hard to avoid mines, pink and red jellyfish, volcano jets and toxic barrels
  • Very expensive and takes a long time to unlock and upgrade
  • Upgrades cost lots of coins
  • Even though it has big mouth, it does not have a stronger bite than the Whale Shark or Great White Shark, probably due to having very small teeth.
