Juveniles are solitary while adults live in pairs. However some shoals are visible, so they can regroup in greater numbers.
Its name comes from the first black stripe including the face, which looks like a mask.
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
We can hear the bull shark is very dangerous because of attacks near La Réunion island.
However, tens of them are living at 600 feet from the famous beach of Playa Del Carmen in Mexico. And there are no attacks.
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!
