Young whale shark pushes snorkeler from behind

Date:

Shocking moment for a tourist off the coast of Cebu in the Philippines: a young whale shark nudged the woman from behind – the snorkeler escaped with a jolt.

While a woman was exploring the fascinating underwater world off the picturesque coast, she had a surprising encounter with a young whale shark.

The gigantic sea creature – the largest shark and also the largest fish in the world – curiously approached the tourist and unexpectedly nudged the woman from behind.

The woman was unharmed
It was just a small thing for the whale shark, but the snorkeler lost her stride. Her heart must have stopped for a moment from the shock. Fortunately, she was unharmed; she now has a perhaps unique holiday story to tell.

Despite their enormous size, whale sharks are considered peaceful. They feed on plankton, inhabit tropical to subtropical seas and occur both near and far from the coast.
