Just an idle thought...

“Whale sharks are elusive creatures hidden in our vast oceans”
Try the Gulf of California, there are lots of them there.
It’s kind of spooky when one of those 20 ton monsters crosses 10’ uder your boat when you are trolling for marlin.

so you can imagine how excited a scientist was when he saw one doing a poo. The 12 year old in me is giggling at the way this was written.

A doctorate in poopology, what a credential.

They used a British idiom, and it is odd for U.S. ears.

Catching the excrement of the world's biggest fish was 'scientific gold', said Dr Mark Meekan, because it holds many clues to its feeding habits.Biggest fish? A whale is a mammal, not a fish.

A Whale Fish is a shark (hence a fish), not a whale, despite the name.

I was wondering why no one had observed a whale pooping until now. But this is not about whales but rather a very large shark.

I think headline writers have to go to idiot school.

This headline does substantiate the theory that today’s news writers have not finished junior high school.
