Not an expert, but watch all the discovery channel stuff. Basking sharks swim with their huge mouth open and filter the water for plankton. The mouths are open and their gills are puffed way out.

Again, never seen either in person. If you were close enough to see the head, basking sharks look pretty distinctive when filtering.
