Every year from April to July, following the mass spawning of coral, the world's biggest species of fish congregate in the Ningaloo Marine Park.In Western Australia. These are the whale sharks!
The chance to snorkel with these gentle giants is the opportunity of a lifetime and visitors from all over the world head to the Ningaloo Reef during whale shark season.
These massive filter feeders can grow up to 18 metres long. They cruise the world's ocean in search of concentrations to feed on. Ningaloo Reef is one of the only places they appear regularly in large numbers. Very little is known about the biology of these creatures so research is ongoing.
