The Whale Sharks have returned! |
|
 What is a whale shark? To begin with, it is the world’s largest living fish. Known to have reached lengths of 46 feet (14m), the aquatic giant has alternating bands of thin white vertical bars and columns of white spots on a dark, blackish gray background, with a white belly. The head of the whale shark is flattened in appearance and has a narrow mouth that extends across the full width and small eyes that are forward facing. Equal to the propulsion methods of other sharks,  The appearance of the whale shark can be quite intimidating, considering it spends most of its time swimming with its dorsal fin cutting through the surface of the water while feeding; however, the whale shark is nothing to fear. These enormous animals feed on tiny plankton, small fish such as sardines and anchovies, and some slightly larger fish like mackerel by simply opening their wide mouths whilst swimming along the surface of the water. They pose absolutely no threat to humans or any larger sea animal.  For more information, visit holboxwhalesharktours.com.
