How many teeth does a whale shark have?

Whale sharks are largest known animals of the earth. They typically measure more than 60 feet. A whale shark has in its mouth over 4,000 teeth that are placed in several rows that resemble a rasp (a kind of flat tool with sharp projections to work on wood). These teeth are not used for feeding.
