KRABI, Feb 17 (TNA) – A large whale shark has been
spotted while surfacing near a boat of marine park officers off Koh Lanta Yai
island in southern Thailand.
The four-meter-long whale shark was caught on camera as it
was feeding on plankton close to the boat of marine park officials on Sunday.
Head of the marine park Veerasak Srisajjang said the whale
shark suddenly appeared on the surface while divers were surveying the marine
resource in the area known as one of the richest diving sites of Krabi
province.
It was a rare sighting that signaled the abundance of
natural resources in the ocean, he said. (TNA)
