I was free diving off the Berry Islands in 1961, went down about 35 feet watching a friend who was using scuba. All of a sudden something cut off the sunlight. I looked up and a big whale shark was just gliding by.
They are an awe inspiring creature.

It’s the whale sharks’ summer of love or Woodstock.

The sharks are meeting??
“Hi John”
“Hi Bob, how’s the kids?”
“Joshua got his first ramora yesterday!”
“Congrats!”

Sounds like a lawyer’s convention - except that Whale Sharks don’t have any teeth.
On the other hand, they CAN suck every last, little bit of plankton out of a square mile of water, so there’s that...

Guess they skipped Disney this year.

Do mature whale sharks have any natural predators?

Thanks nickcarraway. First time I heard of whale sharks was reading Thor Heyerdahl’s “Kon-Tiki”.

Great....a whale orgy. Couldn’t they do this in San Francisco Bay?
