Whale Shark sightings, Bay of Islands

Postby Michael Szabo » Tue Mar 13, 2018 11:06 am

Newshub reports that there have been four sightings of Whale Shark in the past couple of weeks, but that no-one's sure if this is the same whale shark, or different ones. This report includes footage of one of them filmed in the Bay of Islands.

saw a report of one in Whangamata today, it looked like a juvenile based on the size in the video.
