Imagine being the cameraman who got to film. This basically makes your career.

remliqa - 10 years ago

Whale sharks DO eat tiny fishes(up to one or two inches).Medium and bigger fishes are safe them.

There would be way more deaths out at sea then.

David Attenborough is a delight to listen to. In fact, I would watch any mediocre documentary as long as it is him narrating

Meh, not really. Their throat is only a little larger than a quarter. Anything they eat has to fight through that

Why is it, the biggest things are always living off the smallest things? Huge whale shark eats tiny plankton. Movie stars and singers are all rich because of us, buying $1 dollar songs. Strange.

wietepiet - 12 years ago

@WoWhelperful Sir David Attenborough :)

chunson - 12 years ago

i think the only way to know for sure... is to conduct an interview with the whale shark in question.

Choon Hock - 12 years ago

@superuglowable Heh? Maybe go try diving with a great white shark?

Dan Gorry - 12 years ago

Watching this on Blue-Ray with a giant 60inch plasma and some bud is Mind blowing

superuglowable - 12 years ago

I've dived with many sharks but would love to dive with whale sharks

S0XF0X - 12 years ago

@Supertails94 Accept that the bait fish were in flight mode, they weren't trying to feed. They had their focus on balling up and swarming about to try and evade the tuna.

Chocachoc - 12 years ago

I feel very, very lucky to have seen a WhaleShark. Best experience of my life.

LatinoHeatMexico - 13 years ago

I wish I could see this amazing animal in its natural habitat, seeing them in a cage (the Aquarium in Atlanta) is just saddening.

Samuel Kuo - 13 years ago

So a whale shark is a shark whale?

Darth Bismarck - 13 years ago

There are only two creatures that, if I was willing to even get beyond knee-deep in water, could convince me to go swimming: manta rays, and this big beauty.

TriPalms - 13 years ago

meroko15701 - 13 years ago

I feel like saying 'PWND' to the little fish, but then I would feel a little bad...

TheEbonyShadow1 - 14 years ago

its so calming to know there are peaceful creatures like these out there. I bought this documentary (all 5 discs) and watch this one OVER AND OVER AND OVER again
