Biggest Creature in the Sea?





Last Summer, I had the opportunity to scuba dive with whale sharks. Although I was very nervous to swimwith these enormous creatures, having the comfort of my family there kept me from backing out of this amazing opportunity. I decided to share with you all, what I experienced.


I decided to share some pictures with you, one because they are fascinating creatures not only because of their design but also because their size. the spots on their back are said to act like finger prints, no two designs alike. They are very docile creatures, note: the swimmer up on the right next to the whale shark. Whale Sharks can reach up to 50 ft. and are not carnivores. Their main diet consists of crill, better known as plankton. It is amazing to know that plankton can sustain this enormous body. They suck in gallons of water, but filter it own with a special mechanism that keeps the plankton.
