Whale Shark

[savenaturedouble5ive]

I think whale sharks are amazing. I always loved them. I've always hated the idea of sharkfin soup. Thumbs up to save whale sharks and OUR ocean!!!

[XxCherryBurstxX]

I luv whale sharks

[anteopts]

That shark would feed a Japanese family for years.

[xXxSTENCHxXx]

man Chinese are one fucked up race

[elchippe]

@xXxSTENCHxXx h t t p : / / w w w . youtube.com/watch?v=4munwmIFqC­4

This is a fucked up race too?

[adxndbdfie]

Thumbs up if - Oh wait i'm not a faggot.

[fr3iya]

The fin that they 'harvest' for restaurants from the whale sharks are not even edible or used for cooking. Restaurants purchase them to put on display to show that they sell sharks fin soup. :(

[bubblevision]

@fr3iya That's interesting. I didn't know that. Do you know of any online references about that?

[FamousReporter]

Whale shark is a fish, not a shark as it mentions... It should not be in shark fin soup, but fish soup. Anyway, the fin makes terrible solution for hungry jacks.

Check this out! I have an aquarium video on my channel that shows the marine animals from Sydney Aquarium. Sharing with others online is Gold XD, just click on my name to watch, or search the name: Best Aquarium Video on youtube (Maybenot)

[ThaiMedicalVaction]

what an amazing fish..i hope we can show this to our grandchildren..but probably not..

[harrybone747]

[mayank9613]

[leendert101]

Wish I could eat by holding my mouth open.

[yentegast]

[MaceAce64]

@yentegast its the japanese

not the chinese.

[WorldsCast]

@yentegast good motivation. lolloolololololol

a bit too drastic?

[XxJanellyElleexX]

oh my god, she's sooo cute (:

[emporer15]

Why can't you ride a whale shark when Sharksuckers can?

[bubblevision]

@emporer15 Sharksuckers are much smaller & more streamlined than people, & whale sharks are completely used to their presence, & may even get some benefit from being cleaned by them. Totally different to big, clumsy humans, which are totally alien to them. We have no way of knowing how much they are stressed by divers riding them, but we know that it might damage the mucous covering on their skin, thereby predisposing them to infection. Also their natural feeding habits might change.

[JimWakable]

I swam with numerous Whale Sharks about 20 miles west of Cancun this last August. All I can say, is, wow! Awe-inspiring to see feeding at the surface. One of those things to do on a "bucket list". As a bonus, there were large Manta Rays feeding there as well. I was within a foot of both of these magnificent animals!

[divephuket]

similan Islands opens up in 5 weeks to divers

[Hussarer]

Let's partay in it's mouth!

[lefkas991]

biggest shark but still eat plangton

[ironjohn03]

@bubblevision

any videos of a live blue whale? I'm a big fan of them. I wish megalodons still live these days and documented through video, I would also love to see them.

[bubblevision]

@ironjohn03 Unfortunately I have never seen a blue whale. But I have a lot of footage of humpback whales from Tonga. There is a short clip of a mother calf in my latest video called "Dakuwaqa's Garden".

[tharagonn]

@ironjohn03

If you wish to see blue whales in person, you should visit the southern shore of Sri Lanka. For whatever reason, there seems to be a large concentration of blue whales there. And unlike most blue whales, they won't migrate. It's like they like where they are..

Anyway, just my two cent. I hope you get the chance to see them :)

[TheCrazyTV62]

so relaxing I wish i could swim with them

[NeothehedgehogX]

This is what happens when a Whale has buttsex with a shark.

[ICouldntGiveAFlyingF]

Such a magnificent creature, a delight to observe and it appears to be very docile.

Why then must humans kill these natural wonders? They should be protected for future generations and allowed to flourish.

[Darkmoonight10]

45 people got eaten by the whale shark

[wellsrachael]

beautiful animal !!!

[ricardoeldelmustang]

I´m an airplane pilot and I MUST say the shark´s fins dont work like the ailerons on an aircraft, the ailerons on an aircraft work like the shark´s fins, it´s the human who inspires in the nature, not the other way around.

[nuchtoontaipi]

I find shark fin soup very yukky! Thank you for posting this. Beautiful!

[taylor6string]

Surely we can invent a way of propulsion on the water without having to use spinning sharp blades that endanger marine life. It's 2011 for crying out loud!!!

[TheSereneShinigami]

One of the animals I want to see before I die. =')

[p0rcelaing0d]

Man, Asians just fucking hate animals don't they?

[Ackles4life]

shit balls... just imagine, if a whale shark were born (somewhere) that had the teeth of a great white, and ate big gameOoO Jesus, just think about it>_<

[lightwind108]

the shark is probably wondering why all these ugly things are following him!

[dametiger]

i always thought the blue whale was the worlds largest fish

[bubblevision]

@dametiger The blue whale is the world's largest animal, but it's a mammal, not a fish

[julianlegend1995]

@bubblevision you suck

[hsuehhs1]

@julianlegend1995 Your 5th grade?! Then its illegal for you to have a youtube account

[julianlegend1995]

@hsuehhs1 fuck up bitch

[Sargethepyromaniac]

@julianlegend1995

Biggest Whale Shark Recorded to date: 12.65 metres (41.50 ft)

Size of the usual Blue Whale: At 30 metres (98 ft)

Quote me any zoological journal or source which states otherwise, and learn some respect you ignorant little twerp.

[julianlegend1995]

@Sargethepyromaniac just shut ur mouth

[Sargethepyromaniac]

@julianlegend1995 Deleting your comment and then trying to smack talk... Damn kid, i pity you.

[LocoRico89]

@julianlegend1995 And who taught you such language?

[daveyboyfox]

@julianlegend1995 @dametiger "The double-stupid!  It burrrnnnsss!!"

[julianlegend1995]

@bubblevision Im sorry bitch

[KHRxGokudera4]

@bubblevision Living *

[vitormangraviti]

@dametiger Hahahaha... I never seen anything like it before... You thought that whales were fish? Hahahaha... Oh my word. That is the stupidiest comment I ever read on youtube.

[xlaleclx]

@dametiger Are you a five year old or something? If not that question is unforgivable.

[samuriguy909]

@dametiger LOL retard

[guilaumehearn]

@dametiger face palm

[UpstairsMaid]

@dametiger the blue whale isn't a fish.

[stickpplrawesome]

:( i love whale sharks but they're soooo endangered!!!! theres less than 20 in the world right now! hopefully they can captivate them and then set them free and make sure they stay along for a long long time

[StemmedGrevius]

dear santa...

[UndeadSephiroth]

I killed this thing in World of warcraft :)

[joshledgendo1]

42 people are stupid noob crill (whale shark food :P)

[nerdygirlization]

I LOVE THEM CUZ THEY DONT EAT YOU

[pjbogart]

Not to be dense, but if a whale shark gives birth to live young, doesn't that make it a mammal and not a fish? What makes it a shark as opposed to a whale if that's the case?

[slumhero]

@pjbogart at breathes through gills, is cold blooded and doesn't produce milk for its young

[shark2LOVER]

you know that side bar well it has a video that said whale shark eats kid just to let you know a whale shark has never eat a human divers call it a gentil gaint

[duckking09]

I want to dive with one. :0

[SummerSquid]

omg... they are beautiful !!!

[hogo1]

too bad the shitskins in asia eat them

[Halves75]

Maravilhoso!

[akuapage]

It's beautiful.

[reshsamech]

Beautiful animal.

[iowaxbox]

fuck those asians who kill inocent whales sharks and elephants leave them the fuck alone alone i hate those gooks

[chase1146]

its the biggest fish alive as far as we know but not the biggest fish ever the megalodon shark was

[MultiSnakevenom]

@chase1146 lol it's not biggest thing in the ocean.. The great blue whale gets up to 108ft 396,000 pounds (180 metric tons).. blue whale is bigger than a whale shark. While whale sharks are about 40 feet in length and weighs in about 40,000~47,000 pounds, the blue whale can be up to 108 feet in length (33 meters) and can weigh in about 396,000 pounds (180 metric tons).

[Shadowwolfie1231]

@MultiSnakevenom Those types of Whales are mammals.. They are the biggest MAMMALS alive... Whale Sharks are the biggest FISH alive. ;)

[MultiSnakevenom]

@Shadowwolfie1231 Um to be Honest lmfao it swims, has fins, swims in the Ocean I Beleave it's a dam FISH!!!!! :)

[poorlilemokid15]

@MultiSnakevenom No it's not, just because they "swim in the ocean and have fins" doesn't mean anything, they are mammals, they give live birth :P.

[MultiSnakevenom]

@poorlilemokid15 lmfao!!

[DemonShuriken87]

@MultiSnakevenom wow, for serious? Whales have bones in their fins, bones that are only present in mammals, they also give live birth and produce milk for their young, another trait only mammals have. It breathes air. It can stop swimming for periods of time and hold still-which by the way no fish other than the nurse shark can. Do I need to keep going? I can elaborate on bones if you want me to. Bone structure is very important for mammals.

[missbutter81]

I would never swim in front of its face. Too scared it might swallow me by accident! lol

[locthiennguyen]

a friendly fish :)

[THISISAVERYCOOLNAME]

why is there a video of my dick on youtube??

sorry i jus had to do that...

[philion24]

I went from watching RayWilliamJohnson... To watching this?

[nishtabre]

@philion24 why would you watch him?

[mrnoodleisdead]

[qwertaemo]

Oops! be careful touching it!

[alexmercer100]

I WAN IT LLMAAAOOOOO

[link4585]

if i saw that thing in my ocean i would say "damn nature you scary and beautiful"

[ssyoungnigga542]

too bad it didn't live in rivers so Jeremy Wade could catch it in on River Monster

[ainsleigh4561]

I would pet it. 0.0

[diazragu2010]

it would be hilarious if they got to close and ended up getting smacked with the tail

[AnimeCrazySk8ergirl]

harmless to humans aye...........HA! OH NO THEY ARE JUST SOME SMART MOFOS THAT EAT PEOPLE ON THE D.L SO MORE PEOPLE CAN COME TO BE NEAR THEM THEN BAM...........A CIRCLE

[Ir3koilI]

[SteffersFavourites]

Compared to basking sharks, whale shark is so cute! ^^

[captainflea]

I would shit my scuba suit!

[shir4561]

מהממם..!!

[TRIPNnuttzNfcknBUTTZ]

FINALLY...... something that can suck my dick

[IGITnBLACK]

Good going God, made a shark that I can swim with without it nibbling on my ass.

[REDX3211]

whale sharks are my fav. sharks ever.

1. there filter feeders

2. you can swim swim with them cause ther docile

3. THERE SOO CUTE >_<

[ctbang504]

@REDX3211 there a fish not a shark...

[bubblevision]

@ctbang504 a shark is a fish

[TheWarmWalrus]

That is enough meat to feed like 15 AFrican villages

[cheaplinerider]

They better STOP freakin making fin soup or I'm gonna open up a can of wup fish!!!!

[timbo3243234]

I saw one while I was diving in Belize. It was the most incredible thing I have ever seen.

[myballetstellar]

She is beautiful!

[vidiotxerox]

Woah where can I get this song? 

[kingdavey90]

And this is a FILTER FEEDING shark? Plankton, fish eggs, tiny marine animals... Really? =|

[sbneeley1]

i bet it could fit 50 humans inside of that thing or more

[SomeoneNamedTom]

thats. a. big. fish.

[ThatguyNice]

Wow! I can't believe people would kill something so majestic just to make soup out of it's fins. **sigh** Humans are the planet's cancer.

[Austinten4]

@ThatguyNice and alot of them are idiots too lol (not calling u an idiot)

[sophiethetinker]

Watch worlds biggest animal!

[yourcathatesme]

[tetraodontiform]

Wow, what a beautiful creature! We were diving at Richelieu Rock in february 2011. It's still the best diving spot around the Similans. But we didn't see any shark during our five days liveaboard - too many boats and divers.

[jazzyvolleyball1]

Onlybeiberfan1::: they dont hurt u

[MoveMakerTV]

excellent post!... and thankyou for listing the soundtrack info!

[vickimorgan1]

they are so beautiful i would actually love to swim with one of them x

[SuperEasytiger]

yes safediver24 but there are also quite good dive stories on the net too . try the myscubastory site. type myscubastory into google and its the first one

[H3FTYRaPiidZz]

great vid but might not be biggest fish in the world coz scientists have only searched one third of the worlds oceans

[ArtaviusVander]

I just recently got my scuba diving certification. I would do anything to experience something like this. Such a beautiful animal.

[aeopmusic]

That wasn't so scary. You didn't even see it really open it's mouth. If it did, it could swallow all those divers simultaneously.

[MrKevstro]

good thing they are harmless to humans, that giant mouth is scary has hell anyway.

[coopmuch56]

fuck mormans, such a bullshit lie and there trying to recrute more delusional people, fuck off morman ads!!!

[psplayer444]

[Ashe2719]

[Ashe2719]

@bubblevision when i went to Maldives, i went on a Whale Shark tour. i went snorkeling and saw FOUR! that amazing creature was approx. 30cm away from me. i was directly above it, and if it had risen to the surface i wouldve possibly been the first person in the world to ride a live whale shark!!! :D :D :D first time snorkeling and already seen a whale shark!!! :) :) :) i noe how lucky i am :)

[Subtalvik2]

Kite this son of a bitch to Colorado Springs I'll have my clan ready.

[MrPapiPR]

Very nice animal is so big and pretty

[PinkBlushing]

i like to think whale sharks and all whales are sea dragons :) it just makes everything much happier when i think theres some magic in the world :D and it might get somebody thinking im high..

[rottenappleization]

If you eat shark fin soup you are a bleeping bleep bleep bleeeeeeeeeeep!

[AngelCryAlone]

OMGGG I WANT TO NEXT TO THAT PEACEFUL CREATURE!! SO GRACEFULLL!!

omggg true meaning of gental giant!!! she is sooo beautiful!!!

[Sassaropithicus]

What I would do to be able to see one of those. I've been on multiple dives where the main focus was to see a whale shark. I guess you must really be in the right place at the right time to see them.

[bubblevision]

@Sassaropithicus I dived 1000 times in the Andaman Sea before I saw this one, my first.

[Sassaropithicus]

@bubblevision thats awesome, have you seen any others besides this one?

[bubblevision]

@Sassaropithicus I think about 7 in total now. One of them is at 2:40 in my "Myanmar Magic HD" video. There is a baby one at 08:30 in my "Diving Bunaken" video.

[MysticWhizz]

@bubblevision Don't you utterly shit yourself? What would it do if you went underneat it and stoked its chin? :-)

[bubblevision]

@MysticWhizz Not at all because I know they are generally safe to dive with, but I was so excited at seeing my first whale shark that I used all of my air in about 25 minutes. At that stage I was absolutely desperate to see a whale shark. People were even teasing me that I hadn't seen one yet in 1000 Andaman dives. If you gently stroked its chin it would probably just ignore you, but it might just swim away if it got stressed by divers being around.

[Ashe2719]

[G0odf3lla]

damn i'd kill to be there !

[halorulesyourface]

i love whale sharks and manta rays; theyre so adorable. too bad i can't hug them though

[itsjustme2919]

Holy Crap if I were those small fish I would not be swimming so close to its mouth the way they are! Hell I wouldn't if I were a scuba diver! Thank thing yawns and turns to its left your toast!

[Jakethediget]

sure beats the hell out of a goldfish...

[waterproofvideo1]

Nice.

But what's with the lense shaddows in the corners?

Is there no way of getting rid of those?

[bubblevision]

@waterproofvideo1 It's often called vignetting. That rig (Sony VX2000 in Gates housing) had it quite badly. In these shots I'm already zoomed some way in from full wide angle. To get rid of them completely I would have to zoom more, but didn't want to for this subject. They could be removed in post production, but this clip is from an old DVD I made that was mostly viewed on CRT TVs where overscan would crop the edges anyway.

[waterproofvideo1]

@bubblevision Ok, thanx for the info. Could you reccomend a semi proffesional camera/angle that does NOT have this effect?

Mine doesn't have it but it's an older model,, mini DV and I would like to upgrade to HD soon.

[bubblevision]

@waterproofvideo1 Vignetting is less common these days. like Gates housings. Also check out Amphibico and Light and Motion. Ask for recommendations on the video forums at Wetpixel.com

[waterproofvideo1]

@bubblevision Thanx very much, i'll check into it! :)

Also check out my whale shark video on my page if you like!
