Awesome find. Perhaps you would consider adding this to a mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1607...

There's been alot of attention these days on the Whale Sharks over there. Why? I went to Silliman University's biology department, and had close ties with the Marine Laboratory, but never heard much about them. Is there something threatening them now, like illegal fishing? They are magnificent creatures, aren't they???!? I've never seen one in the wild. I did see Manta

I didn't know they had tails like that.
So that's why there called whale sharks.
