WHALE SHARK

INFORMATION

 

 

The whale shark is a magnificent creature dubbed to be the biggest living fish on the planet. It is also one of the biggest fishes to have ever existed since the beginning of time. Being so big, it is ironic that whale sharks are elusive in this country. They have been sighted occasionally over the years by fishermen, divers and oil and gas platform staff offshore but there had been little effort to document and collect these anecdotes. 

 

Below are infographics on whale sharks for you to know them better. They are very easy to recognise and once you've seen them, you will never forget them.

Coming Soon!
