Its International Whale Shark Day!

DateMonday, August 30, 2010 at 11:17AM

I know I’ve dedicated a lot of blog space to whale sharks lately, but in celebration of the end of the field season, here’s one more.  Its International Whale Shark Day!  This day of appreciation for our mellow spotty elasmobranch buddies was designated at the 2nd Whale Shark Symposium in isla Holbox in 2008. 

Have you hugged a 30ft polka-dotted behemoth today?
