yup, i swam with two of them last year. we had a whale shark interaction with a few friends from new york who visited the philippines. whale sharks in my country are locally termed "butanding". they are quite friendly. they are quite huge but i've never heard them attack people or fisherfolks. besides, they only eat planktons. :) actually, it was my first time to see a real live one and also my first time to swim in open waters. if was pretty scary at first but exciting at the same time. :)

I think I seen that episode of Deigo too. I didn't know they was real either. That's weird. thanks for sharing. I guess we really do learn something every day, haha.
