- Whale sharks are the largest fish on the PLANET and feed on some of the smallest organisms in the oceans! They travel to Mexico every summer to feed on fish eggs and coral spawn.Its incredible to swim next to a 30-40ft long shark! They are 1 of only 3 filter feeding sharks and harmless to humans. Enjoy the video. To license footage contact Becky@LiquidProductions.com
Who else thinks that they are cute when they open up their mouths? :3
right
No wounder the majority thinks we are all promiscuous.
i do. it turns me on
S. California King You so deserve a thumbs up for that. *Thumbs up*
S. California King Haha!
I feel like it'd be really relaxing to just hang on to one of it's fins and hitch a ride.
Friend: Hey man, whatcha doing?
Me: Oh, I've just been chilling with a 40 foot long shark for a while.
Friend: WHAT?!
Me: Yeah, we're migrating to Mexico. There's tons of cool food there for my new buddy! (by the way I'm replacing you with a whale shark)
Best scenario ever!
Peter Powell it's a whale
Zach Mortimer It's not a whale, it's a shark. You can tell by looking at its back fins. It's the largest species of shark on earth, and is called a "whale" shark because of its size and ability to filter-feed.
Peter Powell y
Would be fun but you can't actually touch them apparently. I just came back from La Paz Mexico and did a snorkel tour and they said if you touch them it opens them up to infection.
What sweet harmonious creatures!
International Playboyy they can’t do that they are filter feeders
Whale sharks are the largest living shark in the world. Growing to the maximum length of 40 ft (12m) and weighing 20 tons (40,000 pounds). They are filter feeders which mean they eat microscopic creatures such as plankton. They also eat small fish. But 28 million years ago there was a shark named Megalodon that grew to 52 ft (16m) to the maximum of 67 ft (20.3m) and weighed 50 to 100 tons (100,000 to 200,000 pounds) and ate whales, other sharks, Large fish, and dolphins. But became extinct 2 million years ago because of global cooling and lack of food. Most whale species became extinct and the rest went to the north and south poles to feed on krill. And the Earth was cooling and the ice age was about to began. The Megalodons preferred warm waters because they were cold blooded not warm blooded like Great white sharks and that led to their extinction.
kenai singchanh I thought it was 60 ft maximum
kenai singchanh begin*
not only largest shark, but longest fish
Cool!
I learnt a lot from this. Thank you for the information about this beautiful animal.
Beautiful creatures outstanding
It looks so derpy and adorable. I think I have found my favorite shark.
I would love to swim with some of these gentle giants. Thanks for the video.
It's so ironic that of all the sharks there are, the biggest shark is the least scary.
Megalodon is big and scary..
Yeah, except it hasn't existed for millions of years
Your opinion while I think otherwise.
The whale shark isn't the biggest shark, it is the biggest fish.
+Brian Estepa yes it is the biggest shark, while also biggest fish. You are wrong.
I did this in Cancún, Mexico last summer. It was amazing! An experience I will never forget
You got very close to its mouth several times. Don't they create a suction around it? At 1:20 I thought you were a goner
I'm pretty sure they're not vacuums.
It vacuumed the life out of me for a second
I used to think so too. I always thought getting in front of its mouth when they opened it was a death sentence.. Guess not?
whale sharks spit out anything larger than 5mm
+Harry Really? That is incredible
Well I wouldn't say harmless. They won't injure you on purpose, but make sure you don't get hit with their tale. Not fun.
True
GoWithTh3Flow tail*
sharks tale lol
GoWithTh3Flow the whale shark actually cant hurt anything it has 300 rows of teeth but they cannot rip tear nor hurt humans
*Whap*
Whale Sharks are my favorate and have been since I was young.
Looking back, seeing them open their mouth is like something I do as soon as I see Sushi
1:04 that’s one hypnotic and jazzy beat!
Wow,that is one of the most beautiful thing that i ever seen
love the white polka dots.
John Miller turns out that we don’t actually know why they have them.
I intend to do this sometime in the future while I am still able to. Magnificent creatures! You guys who have been able to do it are so lucky.
Whale sharks are so cute! I agree, Olivia Gomes
1:49 What a beauty! That would be the best dive of my life, something you can never ever forget. Thanks for sharing.
As shitty as this world is....this is one of the few things that was done right....these creatures are so majestic and peaceful it should be a crime punishable by death to disturb them let alone eat them....
Yes, the world would be so much nicer if we just summarily executed people for disturbing big fish, great plan Mr. Humanity.
I agree with Robert.
So you're a nutbar too
+xXViperKingXx thank you
+Robert Lembo Nutbar or not, it should be a heavily punishable crime to harm such beautiful creatures. we should value their lives like we do our own.
These sharks are very cute and became my favorite a long time back :)
Whale sharks are probably the most spectarcularly designed animal on this planet...simply majestic
Swimming with them would be a dream come true for me, such beautiful creatures they are
Joyce Ann Pilit what season can we see them in Philippine ?
Joyce Ann Pilit thank you dear😊
Swimming with you would be a dream come true. Jk have a good day!
Come down to Cabo San Lucas, baja california sur. In México guarantee you can snorkel with them.
Vivo en Mexico, y eso seria n sueño hecho realidad!!!!
I just followed this link from your blog... completely in sensed by the shark fin images on there. I can't believe a human being would do that to the shark and the whale shark, a placid animal just going about it's business. I did 10 dives in Utila so I could dive with them... never spotted ONE :) STOP LONG LINE FISHING AND SHARK FINNING!! Thanks Becky :)
giant koi fish
@@poopdollah1897 how?
Oh what a beautiful beautiful fish! I would love to swim with one of these or at least see one up close. There's going to be a whale shark in Finding Dory named Destiny. Perfect name to suit one of these gorgeous gargantuan creatures!
Just had that FANTASTIC opportunity too !!! IT IS MAGICAL ... I nearly cried when I saw that peaceful beautiful monster under me gracefully swimming ... even the dolphins were saluting us on that trip ... SOMETHING I WILL NEVER FORGET ... Respectfully observing them in their natural habitat is the best one can do !!!! The day before I was running up and down to find the biodegradable sunblock that would not harm them while they filter the water that surely would contain that awful toxic film from the regular sunblocks. Our captain was a fantastic guy explaining all their behavior to us and mainly putting an emphasis on us respecting their habitat ... I loved that !
Whale sharks are the most beautiful creatures I've ever seen. :)
LOL @ all the shark experts in the comments
I've actually swam with a whale shark, this one time in baja California sur I saw this huge one swimming along the reef and i swan with it for god knows how long, I even ride on his back, it's a beautiful experience.
Did you go in its mouth?
@@owenhans3633 nah, though I wanted to, but I didn't want to harm it
I did this in Cabo San Lucas and it was amazing... It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I know I would be kicking myself if I didn't do it... Everyone should do it.. There was 5-95 year olds were doing it
The Galaxy LyFe I'm flying to Cabo tomorrow and I'm swimming with the whales too. Probably from the same company that brought you.
I was in a resort that had whaleshark and i didnt get to swim with them because my mom was using the only rashguard we had 😂.i was only in the small boat watchint. Next time im there definitely will be underwater with them.
Come to the island of Cebu in the Philippines if anyone wants to swim with them. The local fishermen here at the town of Oslob befriended the Whale Sharks there by feeding them daily, so they always seem to stay there the whole year round. It is considered a tourist spot, and you can swim with them for 30 minutes for a fee of 500 Philippine pesos. As long as you don't touch them.
thomas george chiong sy i am going there tomorrow😂 i am from dalaguete
why do little fishies swam underneath them?
+ZahyaDaily They clean the shark
+ADinosaurProduction aka lexi meyers c: thanks
ZahyaDaily np :)
+ZahyaDaily actually, they are there to scare off their predators. With the big fish, the other fish that want to eat the smaller fish will keep away because they are scared of the whale shark. The fish do wash them but it's for a reason.
thanks
Thank you Becky for sharing ..... My wife and I are in this It was so wasom to share a great day in the water with you,,, It was magic....
OH NO IT'S GONNA EAT ME!
the shark: N O *turns the other direction*
What a lovely video! I wonder if I can use your video for opening of my internet lecture,,, may I use this?
I'm glad whale sharks are nice to humans we can easily fit in their mouth.
the biggest thing they eat is plankton
their mouthes are big, throats very small
Nizar Alkhazragi there actually harmless
Whale sharks oesophagus are only centimetres long and they spit out anything more than 5mm
When and where did you see this whale shark?
Nobody:
Whale shark: •_________•
Whale sharks are my favorite sharks! I love them!
Beautiful creatures.
They sure are. ☺
u are so lucky :) I love this majestic whaleshark
Nan Nna I want to meet one
Such beautiful majestic creatures. I would love a chance to get near one or more of these beautiful creatures.
They're so cute! Especially when they open their mouths!
I protect sharks for a living .Including whale sharks so treating to to do harm them pisses me off . They amazing creatures so i ask dont insult them
George III Calendar whale sharks are cool I love them; they’re awesome! It’s the predatory sharks that I’d kill BUT only in self defense! Also, I’d like to try shark steak.
Sharks can eat crap and die
@@thehoosierfortheUK shark steak doesn’t exist you monster
Awe thanks! I feel i'm pretty lucky too but it does take some work too =) This is something everyone can do! It's only snorkeling and pretty inexpensive in Mexico! It was amazing!
Whale sharks are the chillest bois in the ocean
Amazing that they can filter something as tiny as a coral larva.
i would probably faint and die but this is beautiful!
Anyone else realize that Animal crossing villagers are stronger than real life humans?
They can pick up whale sharks
You lead a charmed life Becky... what an amazing adventure indeed! THanks for sharing this, I knew nothing about these creatures until recently...
Their sooo calm and friendly around humans as if they were born and raised around humans. Very odd but awesome. But because their so friendly it puts a target on them by the plague that is human.
they are truly majestic animals. this was my favorite video of whale sharks by far and oh yes, the music was awesome as well.
What a beautiful rhinoceros
They are adorable
Prehistoric times: Biggest shark is the scariest (Megalodon.)
Modern times: Smallest shark isn’t the scariest but the biggest shark is the safest(cookie cutter shark and whale shark.)
I just love whale sharks...such majestic creatures!
I can’t wait to go swim with one at the Georgia Aquarium
I want to swim with them. Graceful, gentle giants.
Agreed, I love sharks
So it's basically a giant living underwater hot-pocket...
this whale shark is the most biggest shark in the world and the smallest fish in the world is pandaka pygmea and we find them fish in the phillippines only
+DUltimate Barlada Except these sharks travel to Mexico every year...
There's no proof that megaladon exists.
I personally LOVE whales and sharks, any kind of marine animal has a special place in my heart. But the one shark I refuse to even search up anymore is basking sharks. Whale Sharks and Basking Sharks have similar mouth and jaw functions, but Basking Sharks take it to a level it shouldn’t ever reach 🤣🤣🤣
These sharks are so harmless to humans you can swim with them what ever you want
LOL imagine the Markiplier cat meme or the Wedensday guy with the. Open mouths.
Animals truly are amazing.
DESTINY
it begins.....
Reneshia Thompson
“Dread it, run from it, destiny still arrives”
Oh my god so cute there was a baby on its back.I just liked this
What a beautiful creature
Wonderful video!! We are heading to Cancun the third week in June. We are going to go swimming with the whale sharks. Can't wait!!
This is clearly a Jaguar Shark... ;-) Hey Becky! Its Dave Eitzen. I was just watching a Tiger Shark video and saw that you shot it - beautiful as is this one! Safe travels to you and your husband.
ITS DESTINY!!
just amazing i would love to swim by these giants one day
Whale shark is my favorite
It's so majestic.
I did this off Cancun in Mexico... epic. Even more so when a group of playful Manta Rays joined the 5 Whale Sharks. The most epic thing I have ever done.
Whale Sharks are my Favourite Fish.
this is my favorite animal of all time.
Beautiful animals you better get out the way little fish before you get socked in lol
Cute little babies, too. :D
I love them! just swam with the whale sharks yesterday and they are fabulous gentle giants of the sea!
They're so cute, and I think it's ironic that the biggest shark is harmless while sharks only two feet long will eat a finger or a hand.
Thank you. I hope that someday you can snorkel with them too. This is something I dreamed of doing for many years.
Destiny?
They're so pretty I want it as a pet ;3
Is Dorys friend a whale shark in the upcoming finding dory?
yesss ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
Yes she is, which leads us to the debate: How can Destiny speak whale when she is actually a shark?
Scott Murphy good question, why did the whale in Finding Nemo have a uvula when as we know whales don’t have uvulas
I'm more scared of this than spiders, or horror movies
Majestic creatures. Meanwhile, I think I saw some lamprey's on a couple of them which...sucks...
That is like my dream
I like how there’s fish on the bottom of whale sharks.
So magestic
It's Pilot fish that clean up the parasites, Remora really don't do anything except sucker onto the fish and eat its leftovers.
they are so cute
What a unique fish
So majestic ☺☺😀😀😄😄☺☺😀😀😄😄
Fantastic footage!
Awesome footage
The biggest shark is the most harmless unless one goes on a rampage and gets the nickname Vacuum Mouth
Awww. So peaceful.
Aw it's cute
WHALE FISH ARE LIKE GENITAL GIANTS
