They have a whale shark in a giant tank in Okinawa aquarium with a bunch of giant manta rays. It's pretty damn impressive. Something about watching them makes everyone quiet.
I dont know I was listening to Jesse Ventura talk about how he went some where in the paccific off the Baja penesula, and some Mexican dude started petting a whale way back when and ever sense they will come inn this cove while they have calves before they make a journey some where, and raise the calves for a period while orcas are in the area, apparently orcas eat these particular whales. Long story short according to him the mother whale will swim up to the boat and the calf will follow, after the mother checks you out she will swim off to the side and chill while you get in the water and swim with the calve. He claims he did this for hours? He was a SEAL, so the fact he could swim for hours in some cove isnt surprising the fact a whale would engage humans that long????
