very cute....
i wonder if itll actually survive til adulthood..

I was wondering the exact same thing. This specimen is smaller than an embryo was. Perhaps it was premature, and if that is the case, then its odds are not good.

Does anyone know the suspected birth size of whale sharks? I don't think we know for sure because they have never bred in captivity?
 
Thats nothing. Wes, Fugupuff, brought in eight that size and of course before he even put them up forsale, Neo bought em all! :irked: haha!

In all seriousness, these creature are AMAZING! One of the best experiences of my life was being with in INCHES of a 25ft+ in the Gulf of Mexico while on a fishing trip. We were in our 24ft boat and she DWARFED it. She swam at the surface and we followed her for over an hour. Ive never felt so small in my life. She was also like a moving reef with a whole mess of other fish swimming with her. It was a sight to behold.
 
That is cool, even if you could only keep it for a short period of time...

Imagine putting into one of those aquaworld type places, people could watch and monitor its growth and everything.. wicked!
