Thread: Huge whale shark spotted near Phi-Phi Don islands off Krabi province

A huge female whale shark was sighted on Saturday near Phi-Phi Don islands inside the Nopparat Thara-Phi-Phi marine park in the southern province of Krabi.


Worapote Lomlim, chief of Nopparat Thara-Phi-Phi marine park, said that the 4-metre long female whale shark was spotted feeding on plankton by park officials as they were patrolling the sea near Pidanai-Pidanok or Phi-Phi Don islands at about 11.45 am on Saturday.


He said that this was the first time that the park officials had sighted the huge whale shark at close range and managed to make a one-minute video of the creature while it was feeding on plankton in the sea.


He said further that park officials would be patrolling the area to keep tourist boats from getting too close to the mammal and also to prevent divers from touching it.


Whale shark is a rare species and is occasionally spotted in the Andaman Sea off Krabi and Phang-nga provinces.

Great white shark caught in nets off Maroubra, witnesses say 'biggest they have seen'





A 4.65-metre great white shark has been found dead in the nets at Sydney's Maroubra Beach, the NSW Government has confirmed.

The NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) said the dead shark was removed from the nets this morning by contractors during a routine check.

Shark scientists have completed an autopsy.

Images of the shark in the net were shared on Facebook and Instagram.

Adam Cree, from Blue Reef Fishing Charters, saw the situation unfold this morning and said it was the biggest shark he had seen.

"This morning I witnessed a boat checking the shark nets of Maroubra beach," he said.

"They looked like they were struggling to get something up.

"It was big. The biggest shark I've ever seen, and I've been running charters off Sydney for 20 years.

"We catch small sharks on a regular basis but not to that scale. That was definitely a man-eater, no question about it."

Obviously makes a buck from his dumb comments.

I just read his comments in a Crocodile Dundee accent.
