Interesting looking fish. I don't reckon that this particular type is very dangerous.

#Though Whale Sharks are the largest shark in the ocean, Whale Sharks present no threat to humans. Whale Sharks are filter feeders, so like Whales they just eat zooplankton. So they do not hunt and kill prey the way some other species of sharks do. In fact, Whale Sharks have been known to not only be tolerant of divers, but some will even interact and play with humans. These beautiful, docile creatures are not dangerous at all."(From Shark Sider)
Several years ago while diving I Hawaii, I was fortunate to see one of these beautiful creatures.
