I saw a whale shark again yesterday while aboard a pump boat going for swimming with my friends.
You could tell easily if there's one ,-there's this flock of seabirds, going around in this area of water.
The creature feeds on krills- a tiny organism that look like shrimps,when its around its color is reddish brown.There are also other fishes like jack fish, scud and small tuna, all are participating in the feast.
So I jump into the water and found this 80 foot long gentle creature
Unfortunately I don't have an underwater camera, but same excitement are expressed in this acrylic painting I did 3 years ago:
