“Cetorhinus” is a genus of large filter-feeding sharks known as basking sharks. They belong to the family Cetorhinidae and are characterized by their large mouths and gill rakers, which allow them to filter plankton from the water. The most well-known species in this genus is the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), which is the second-largest shark species in the world. These sharks are found in temperate and boreal oceans and are known for their slow swimming and migratory behavior.
