Swimming with the biggest fish in the world!!!

The whale shark (Rhincodon typus) is the biggest fish in the world, reaching up to 20 meters in length. It is considered the gentle giant of the sea, because it feeds on smaller organisms through filtration and does not have an aggressive behavior towards humans.
The whale shark is classified as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Predatory hunts kill hundreds of whale sharks a year, which is a huge threat to the species future.
This video was filmed in Mexico in August 2018, when they migrated to the Yucatan Peninsula to feed with the rich food that exists in the region.
Having the opportunity to swim alongside them is a dream come true!
