Some Facts about the Whale Sharks
The lower depth limit of the whale sharks is
more than 1,900 meters (6,200 feet)! Pregnant
female whale sharks can potentially give birth to
up to 300 baby whale sharks. The baby whale
sharks have a length of approximately 60 cm (24
inches) at birth. The smallest ever baby whale
shark was measured was 46 cm (18 inches) long.
The current population trend of whale sharks is
decreasing. In the last few years, you must
have seen the whale sharks in three international
films, like Finding Dory, Kon Tiki, and Life of
Pi.
What is Laser Photogrammetry on Whale Sharks?
How can you calculate the length of a whale shark
without touching it? The researchers and
scientists use the Laser Photogrammetry technique
to calculate the length of a whale shark. Laser
Photogrammetry requires tools like an underwater
camera and two parallel laser pointers (fitted
together at a distance apart on single support).
The scientists point the two lasers at the body
of the shark and take photos.

How should you Approach a Whale Shark while
swimming or snorkeling?
Are you thinking of how to approach the harmless
and attractive whale sharks during swimming or
snorkeling with them? It is not very complicated
as these creatures are indifferent to our
presence. But you should follow the rules of
conduct to avoid disturbing the gentle giants.
The whale sharks often dive deep if snorkelers or
swimmers get too close. It can end the encounter
for everyone and cause the whale shark to show
unnecessary avoidance behavior.
Here are some tips for approaching the gentle
giant whale sharks
Keep noise to a minimum when you enter the
water. Snorkel calmly and do not chase whale
sharks. Approach the whale shark from the side to
get the best view. If you want to enjoy an
