Several pix of Whale Shark off Langkawi Island of which i managed to capture in the late of 2009. Less sightings was reported after that especially in 2010. Generally considered harmless, however there have been a few cases of whale sharks butting sportfishing boats, possibly after being provoked.Now, the whale shark is listed as "Vulnerable" with the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN). There is a serious need for us to recommend some protection to be introduce because of the possible serious impact that the fishery may be making on whale shark stocks.
Well, it was amazing, to say the least.
