While developing in the womb they feed on their mothers eggs. (Their size is below 5 feet while in the gestation period)

Juvenile - They are 6 feet long when they are only juveniles, they have elongated noses, and are already much larger than most adult sharks, there color is a grayish white color. Their colored a light grey.

Adulthood- They reach full adulthood at the age of 16 and at this age they are 16 feet long. The females can become 25 to 29 feet long. They are colored a dark grey.

In its whole life it requires an open ocean to thrive in. In its Gestation period it is still inside its mother so habitat doesn't really affect it. In Juvenile they need a habitat with temperate and sometimes cold water with lots of plankton around so it can sustain its needed energy.

While in its Juvenile and Adult life it filter feeds (motion of basically inhaling everything in sight) plankton.

Juvenile - They face problems from other predators that are larger than them. They also face the problem of pollution in their habitats from humans. Also being stuck by boats. 

Adulthood- Once they are an adult there isn't much that can hurt these animals for they are the 2nd largest animal in the world. Yet, they can still be affected by habitat loss, pollution, boats, etc.

It also has a distinct curved snout as well.

Teens- At this age it starts to grow very long and it grows in its teeth and its mouth gets a lot larger at this age now it can filter feed.

Adults- At this stage in their life they are fully grown. They have a full set of small but razor like teeth. They have bristle like gills that are then fully grown and very large.
