If you look way back in my gallery you'll see that I photographed another whale shark a long ago. This and the other one were taken at the Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa, Japan. This tank used to be the largest in the world until they built the Georgia Aquarium. I'm not big on captive animals but it's hard to resist this one. Enjoy!

I'm not a fan of captive animals either but it is fascinating to see these creatures up close and this is a fantastic capture...a fave for me.

I can see a few faint viewing windows in the back but they don't detract from the power and majesty of this critter or view. Wow.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

A perfect match with the impressiveness and graceful appearance of this whale shark, Jen.
By checking-out the above link, one can read: "They feed almost exclusively on plankton and are not known to pose a threat to humans.". I wonder how this (providing it with plankton) will be achieved in this aquarium.

Wow Jen, this is spectacular and the colours makes me feel like I'm right in the water along side. Whale sharks are very gentle

The colors in this photograph are absolutely scrumptious. Totally seductive!

I wonder if the whale shark finds the accompanying cloak of fish around him to be irritating or comforting?

Beautiful shot, Jen!
