Baby Whale Shark

On a regular day, lisod ba makit-an ang mga whale sharks diha sa ato o highly likely? I don't remember having seen one my childhood diha sa ato. Sa Sorsogon, ang Butanding (whale shark) has been promoted for eco-tourism. May chance kaha nga maingon sab ana sa ato?


Unsa kaha ni sya ka katas-a? How about the weight, mga one-tonner na kaha na? Appreciate kung medyo naay short write-up ani nga photo. I'm sure lots of people will be interested. Could be one of the reasons why they'll be encouraged to go to Biliran.


Thanks. And I wish the photo is shot a little closer.

Hi Olinorns,


This photo was taken in Sambawan, wel nag overnight me didto. when one of our members nanghugas sa dagat. then mga around 8pm, naay ning duol na 3 ka pating bungol sa iyaha known as "whale shark" then he shouted.. then daghan man me kaau amo dayun cya gi duol then wala jud me ka kita sa pating..


Then akong gipangita ang pating sa baybayun. nice pod ni cla kai mag pa duol sa island.. then i used my flash light and timing jud kaau nakit an na ko ang usa ka pating kai ning balik man. =) then I have my digital camera. ning gamit ko ug flash ana pag kuha.. =)


then mau tu nangadhadlok na akong mga kuyog mag night swimming.. =) basta nice jud kaau ang sambawan. dont worry maghimu ko ug write up ana... =) "The Heart Has its reasons where reasons cannot understand"

Hello, Jalmz. Salamat sa explanation kung giunsa nimo ang pagtiming sa imong shot. Mao diay nga dili duol ang shot nimo, unya gabii pa gyod. Tricky. Ug tungod sa difficulty you encountered just to take the shot, I revise my rating sa photo: "9" na ron. Dili lang "10" aron ma-encourage ka pa mokuha ug mga animals photos in their natural habitats. Unya post dayon to this website.


This animal is interesting kay although "whale shark" ang tawag sa iya dili siya carnivoruous sama sa ubang pating ug dili sab siya "whale", kay isda man gyod siya (dili "mammal"). But it the biggest fist and the biggest shark. Ang pagkaon nya planktons o kaha mga gagmay'ng isda. Mao lagi nga attraction gyod ni sya sa lugar sa Sorsogon.


Lingaw bitaw ko ug bisita aning BiliranIsland site. Nahimo na'ng habit, ba, kay sa opisina o kaha sa balay, check man gyod nako. Minimum twice daily, o kaha pasagdan lang nako nga abli unya mag-check na lang from time to time. Feeds my longing of my native land.


Thanks sa efforts mo ug kodus sa imong creativity that you put to good use.



Regards,
Rony

Its good to know that there is a good population of
whalesharks in Biliran. Its true that they feed on Planktons. Planktons is a good indication of a healthy ocean. The Philippines still have a healthy Marine life that is by nature very fragile. Once it is destroyed, it will be gone forever. Marine life is a crucial part of the eco system that supports life. Exellent job jalmz.
