comments,

• Jaws like these can be seen in these waters throughout March and June\s feeding season.""The Indian Ocean\s Ningaloo Reef is less than a kilometre offshore
• Rhincodon typus is a slow-moving filter-feeding shark and the largest extant fish species.""Maybe this 80s indie classic is their unofficial anthem?
• Do you think swimming with these beasts, which can grow to almost 13 metres, would be an amazing experience?""These guys ended up in the water with whale sharks - and their taxi driver!
• With a mouth this massive, does it feel like you\re next on the menu after this school of fish?""Keep your distance - reading this will be much safer
