The Gentle Giant

You’ve probably heard it mentioned a couple of times. Or if you’re a fan of the underwater world, or better yet, dive or snorkle every now and then, you’ve probably added swimming with this adorable-looking, slow-moving creature to your bucket list. The Whale shark (hiu paus) has gained immense popularity for its gentle and approachable nature. As they feed almost exclusively on planktons and small sea creatures, they are not known to pose a threat to humans.
