Whale Shark

Description:

The whale shark is the world's biggest fish found throughout the world in tropical and sub tropical seas. Each individual can be identified by a unique spot pattern, just like a human fingerprint.

Habitat:

They can be found near shore, off shore, and everywhere in between. They are even capable of diving to great depths.

Notes:

These whale sharks were off the coast of Southern Leyte where there is a steep drop off, allowing them to feet on plankton upwellings. They were not being fed by anyone and were in an all-natural environment.
