This passive shark moves very little, you will have a better chance of seeing it move on a night dive!
It has two large black spots behind his head on each side of his body.
Unlike other sharks, they have to chew their food for 5 to 10 minutes. His teeth have disappeared to leave room for a flat surface to break the prey shell.
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
Turtles are in economy mode when they are sleeping. If they are woken during night, they may not have enough air to return to surface.
So, please be careful during night dives!
