2009 Digital Calendar photo description 

“Have a Whale of a Holiday!”

Swimming with a Whale Shark, the largest fish in the sea, is a life changing experience.

Although they are sharks, they are harmless, feeding off plankton and small fish.

Here a marine biologist free dives down to photograph the spot patterns on this

ocean behemoth in order to number it and track its movements

Whale Shark �Rhincodon typus

The Whale Shark is the biggest shark and the biggest fish but is NOT a whale! It has a huge mouth

which can be up to 1.4 m wide. Its thick dark gray skin is 10 cm thick. A Whale Shark can measure

up to 14 m in length, although the average length is 7.6 m, and weighs up to 15 tons,
