Whale Sharks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The whale shark was so named because of its size being as large as some species of whales and that they have filter feeders as the baleen whale. Although there is no good estimate of its global population it is considered endangered due to the need for protection from some countries as China capturing and commercializing them. We need to remember and respect the uniqueness of the whale shark especially when we consider how many creatures are endangered.  Please everyone if you are able to help please act in donating to conservation organizations as the MafiaIsland Whale Shark Conservation and the World Wildlife Fund which are dedicated to protecting them so their population can be stabilized and negative impacts will be controlled.
