A whale shark – a true shark that is in no way related to whales – has
the distinction of being the largest fish in the ocean. It is a filter
feeder and would never swallow a human being. This remarkable story is
of a roped whale shark that sought help from three fishermen off the
coast of Australia just south of Sydney in March, 2003. The documentary
is narrated by Mark Spencer with music and production support by Roger
Faynes. You can also hear an interview with Joe (the fisherman helping the shark) on Brisbane’s ABC radio (with Warren Boland) at http://blogs.abc.net.au/queensland/2013/02/saving-a-whale-shark.html?site=brisbane&program=612_weekends_with_warren or just search for ABC Radio Brisbane and look at Warren Boland’s interview recordings.
