Whale sharks are the largest species of fish on the planet. They are among the largest animals to have ever lived. Only blue whales, sperm whales, and humpback whales (all mammals) are larger. The largest ever recorded was 18.8m (almost 62 feet) long. The only fish that has ever lived that was larger than a whale shark is the now extinct megalodon. Whale sharks have enormous mouths with no teeth. They feed by filtering fish eggs, krill, and small fish, trapping them in baleen plates (comb-like structures) as whales do. They swim with open mouths, eating enormous amounts of tiny creatures daily. Plagued by parasites and remoras, the whale sharks follow ocean currents to the Galapagos Islands for the cleaning stations. Trevallies, silky sharks, Galapagos sharks, and blacktip reef sharks prey on the remoras, ridding whale sharks of the nuisance fish that clog their gills and create drag. The remoras attach themselves with sucker plates, hitching a ride. They detach themselves to eat feces and scraps of fish in the water, then reattach to the whale shark. This makes swimming much more difficult for the whale sharks. Small wrasses make their home here and they eat the smaller parasites from the mouth and gills of the whale sharks. Three strong ocean currents collide near the remote Darwin Island, bringing an upwelling of cold water and nutrients from the depths of the ocean. This provides food for many of the species here, such as hammerhead and Galapagos sharks. It is a unique combination of conditions that creates this abundance of whale sharks. Scuba divers wishing to meet a whale shark close up venture here from all over the world. These lucky divers slipped into the water at the base of Darwin's Arch and found themselves almost surrounded by the magnificent animals. In 7 dives, they sighted more than 20 whale sharks. Some of the giant beasts exhibited curiosity, slowly cruising past them or even turning toward the divers as if they were hoping that the clumsy humans were able to provide a cleaning service for them. To look one of these giants in the eye is an experience that takes your breath away. Their gorgeous markings and majestic size make them one of the most sought after animals for underwater explorers. These clips are merely the highlights of the experiences that two tourists from Canada had in 36 hours under the waves

Spotted eagle rays are members of the stingray family. They are highly intelligent, curious, and highly social. This family of stingrays glides effortlessly on the current in the waters of Wolf Island, a remote scuba diving site. The currents collide here, bringing un upwelling of nutrients that attracts bait fish, sharks, and other predators. The animal life here is spectacular and diverse. Suba divers travel from all over the world to witness what is referred to as the world's largest iMax theatre show. Whale sharks, orcas, Galapagos sharks, and hammerheads, sea turtles, and even penguins come to the Galapagos islands for feeding, mating, and the cleaning stations where smaller fish remove parasites and pests from the larger animals. These divers have ventured here from Canada to come face to face with some of the most incredible and mysterious animals on the planet.

Whale sharks are huge animals. With the exception of a few whale species, they are the largest creatures in the ocean. They are the biggest fish to have ever lived. They are a member of the shark family, but unlike other sharks, they do not possess teeth. Instead, they have baleen, large, comb-like structures that are used to filter their tiny food from the water. Whale sharks are gentle creatures, unable to intentionally hurt a human. They have no means of fighting predators. They simply outswim them or dive to depths that other animals, such as orcas, cannot follow. These scuba divers in the Galapagos Islands are thrilled to see a gigantic female cruising right through their group as if they weren't there. The diver recording captures a perspective that shows how tiny the people are in comparison with this behemoth. The Galapagos Islands are famous for their efforts in conservation. They have protected and respected the wildlife so effectively that it is still one of the most diverse areas in the world. The whale sharks come here for the safety and the cleaning stations, where other fish such as trevallies and silky sharks rid them of unwanted remoras. The remoras attach to the sharks in such numbers that they impede movement and interfere with their gills.

Brazil is the home of the Pantanal, the world's largest and most significant floodplain. Animals here roam throughout a vast grassland during the dry season. But, during the rainy season, the water rises and reduces the amount of dry area drastically. Caiman, members of the crocodile family dominate the swamps and bask in the sunshine. Piranha, anacondas, capybara, and birds wade in the shallows and try to find food where they can. This zebu cow grazes among dozens of caiman as if there is nothing to fear. The caiman, even with enormous mouths full of teeth, seem to be more worried about being stepped on by the cow.

Octopus hiding and suddenly showing off. This octopus was filmed while snorkelling in Makadi Bay / Egypt / Red Sea. What a fantastic animal, and it's certainly a master of camouflage. Incredible footage!
