Whale sharks, one of the biggest sea creature is found in the Philippines.😮

And, have you tried swimming with the gentle giants? This animal is truly majestic that you are able to swim side by side with them. 🐋

They are so big that they can swallow me alive. However, they only eat plankton. Although occasionally includes other small animals such as krill, jellyfishes, sardines, anchovies, mackerels, squids, and crabs, as long as they are small.🐟🐙

Here's a couple of pictures of me together my Japanese friend swimming with the whale sharks. 😘

This is his most unforgettable experience ever!! It's not every country has whale sharks. They are mostly found in tropical countries.

These whale sharks are only the young ones, we were unable to take pictures of the big ones. They can grow up to forty-two (42) feet. That as big as a bus!

🌟Did you know males and females whale sharks reach sexual maturity around 30 years old?

🌟And, did you know whale sharks are not actually whales?

Truly a life-changing experience.
