I hope the weather cooperates!
Its been ages since I've been to Legaspi City (back in the good ole 90s).
Relying on my friend Che to help me go around by myself in Legaspi while waiting for 'em to arrive and then we can go to Sorsogon :-)
From the internet -
Whale sharks live in tropical, warm waters all around the world. For eating, they swim quite near the water surface.
Whale sharks are not dangerous for human beings, on the contrary.
Though their mouth is about 1.5 meter wide, the opening to the stomach is very small. So, they are not able to swallow a human body. Whale sharks only live on plankton and krill.
When they have a length of 4.5 meters, the weight is about 750 kg. The maximum length of a grownup whale shark is 13-14 meters. The whale shark then has a weight of approximately 1500 kilograms.
Oh, it can reach 9 meters :-) so its the biggest fish in the world!!
