ONE – Whale Sharks are NOT extinct. They are, however, on the endangered species list.
TWO – They CAN live in shallow water. Fact – They spend most of their lives at/close to the surface.
THREE – No one hurt this whale shark. When they’re about to die they swim to shore and beach themselves.

It is sad to see, but, bottom line is that he was not harmed.

of course..
there go the forigners messing crap up again.
the whale didnt do anything to anyone.
and even if it was dieing let it be
not pull it out of the water so it suffocates faster
but people dont care about any of that

Who ever did this to that poor animal is creul. Whales Sharks dont eat mammals it is physically incappable of doing so. They eat things like fish eggs. I cant believe someone would do this to a gentle giant.. Dumb people

Okay, well that was my knee-jerk reaction at seeing those photos…

Now for my collected reply:

I bloody hope they found that shark already dead.

Uhh..to rectify everyone’s info.

That whale shark pic is old. It wasn’t caught. It beached itself, when whales beach, that means they came to die.

Ask me how I know? I was working for the EPA when that incident happened. And it wasn’t the first whale to beach. I remember there were 3 others, one was young but seriously injured.

So no one caught it, trying to catch a whale shark with our teeny bopper fishing boats? That’s a joke.
