Swimming with 300 whale sharks

Recently I went swimming with 300 whale sharks, one of the most beautiful creatures on earth.

It is so sad to think that they are an endangered species now.

Believe it or not, there are still people in China and Japan who cut the fins off these beautiful, beautiful creatures for shark fin soup and throw the rest of the whale shark back into the water to die. It's too sad for words.

It is a wonderful feeling to be in the ocean with the whale sharks and manta rays - you can see what it's like in the incredible WildAid video above.

Go to WildAid to learn more about whale sharks and shark conservation.
