Basking shark on Jules Verne Google Doodle

Today’s Google Doodle features an underwater scene to commemorate Jules Verne (author of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea) on his birthday. A basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) appears in the scene, which can be navigated via the joystick to the right of the Google logo. The basking shark is toward the right of the scene about half-way down the image (see video above).

I’ve always been a fan of the great, Jules Verne and I love being reminded of the birthday of one of the greats of science fiction in such a clever way.
