whale sharks god damn they must be small right now i wonder what they got instore tfor them when there big
The whale sharks the have are HUGE....I saw video of them being caught, in thailand I think....I'm buying season passes......only 60 bucks! Southeastern MFKers should plan a trip there in December....I know I'll be going once a week. I'm a dork.
whale sharks, huh?? huge as in wouldnt quite fit in a canoe?? as whale sharks near maturity are larger by a substantial amount then killer whales where exactly are they planning on housing these massive brutes...?? is there a slight misunderstanding on what exactly this facility will be displaying??
I haven't seen any info on what is planned for the Atlanta aquarium, but they wouldn't be the first to keep whale sharks in captivity. There is an aquarium in Okinawa that maintains several whale sharks. I'll find the website and post it here.
