Field Notes

Description:

This whaleshark has not yet reached it's full size

Habitat:

A few hours of boating out of the coast of Nabire, there is what we call it a 'whaleshark nursery', because on all our trips there we have never seen them full-size.

Notes:

The photo was taken by a good freind of mine
