i did not know until yesterday that blue whales are mammals not fish blue whales give birth to
live young nurse they're young have to come up for air because they actually have lungs
and they even have a little bit of body hair now why this is important for today's journey
is because last night i realized that i signed up to go swimming with the largest known living fish
luckily whale sharks are considered to be the gentle giants of the ocean they have never eaten
a human they basically just open their very wide mouths and like sieve in different crustaceans
you know plankton all that kind of stuff filter it out through their gills and they're good
humans are actually much more of a risk to the whale sharks than whale sharks are to the humans
but still but still their size is quite intimidating because they can grow up to 12 meters
long and i just have never seen anything like that in the ocean before so if you guys didn't see my
last video i am in isla mujeres right now the island of women just off the coast of cancun this
is definitely one of the most popular places to go whale shark swimming in the world i'm gonna go
with the same company that i went with yesterday carrie diving not sponsored um but there are just
you know a lot of companies here and i have heard that you have to be you know careful with who you
go with because there's only certain places that are um actually certified to be able to
take people out there that actually know how they should be behaving with the whale sharks just
because they are an endangered species there is a minimum price that you're actually supposed to pay
to be able to do this tour which is 125 us dollars that's what i'm paying today so don't believe
any place that's trying to give you a deal for like 80 dollars because either they don't know
what they're doing or they're not supposed to be there so having gotten that out of the way
we are about to leave it's early morning once again you want to go you know before
scorching hot out and after the day that i had yesterday i am definitely going to be taking
i can't remember it off the top of my head demmamine something like that i'll put it here
i'm going to take an anti-motion sickness pill because yesterday like my throat still hurts
from hurling off of the boat so let's hope today's gonna be better
so
wow that is so cool
wow
so beautiful
so
oh
yes
you
