The Whale Shark is the largest fish in the world. They can grow up to 50 feet in length and approximately 13 tons. The plankton-eating sharks have a lifespan of up to 150 years and belong to the shark family.
Whale Sharks are usually difficult to find. They are normally found in tropical seas only.
However, a few years ago, a Whale Shark got caught in local fishermen's nets.
Diving with a Whale Shark
The word "whale" is added to describe their immense size. Although they are enormous in size, their fierceness fails in comparison.
They're like big puppy dogs. They're very playful and are very interested in divers like me with food in hand.
