Whale Shark and Fishermen

Whale sharks are the largest fish in the ocean. They are filter feeders and use their huge mouths to suck in large amounts of water which is then filtered through their gill slits. These sharks have come to this fishing platform known as a "bagan" to get fish from the local Indonesian fishermen.
