The Whale shark is the largest Fish in the sea and feeds on almost exclusively on Plankton, it has been recorded as being longer then 12m in length and weighing more then 40 tons.
Sadly this Incredible and harmless creature that has been around since the dinosaurs will not survive without our help and is already listed as endangered species with surviving numbers unknown. In and around Coiba National Park however the Whale Sharks are often sighted feeding in the plankton rich waters.
Some times of the year it seems are better then others for sightings and with all Marine Life and certainly Endangered Species there is no guarantee of finding these secretive creatures… but we certainly know where to look.
