Spotted Whale Shark on Gayana Marine Resort Sabah

in #animal6 years ago (edited)

Last week on Valentine's Day morning, I received a surprise video from my aunt about Whale Shark spotted at Gayana Marine Resort Sabah. She managed to take photo and video! It is so near and clear how is the Whale Shark look like. It was a beautiful shark, just look at its body spot along with all the small fishes swimming elegantly together with it. At that moment, I told myself this year I must go back Sabah!

When we heard of "Shark", we always think that they will harm human. I bet you have watched Shark Movie such as "Jaws", "The Shallows", "Sharknado" before and many peoples die in the movie eaten by the Shark. Actually, there is Shark that harmless to Human-like Whale Shark.
