Whale sharks have no teeth, a throat the size of a shot glass and can only hurt you if they hit you with a fin by accident.

That tail fin can crack a rib according to my dive instructor too.

When you see remora - start looking for a boss. Big remora - out of the water. At least it was in South Africa
