What a silly article, trying to imply there was some sort of spiritual connection between the fisherman and the whale sharks. The whale sharks are just opportunist feeders.

And "drew gasps of disbelief"?! How overdramatic. Unless a human looks like and is the size of krill, there is no need to worry.

Poor article, but the greater story of the whale sharks of Oslob is unique. Thanks for posting the link!
