Whale Sharks Thriving In Madagascar

There's a new hot spot that all the hip young whale sharks are talking about, and it's Madagascar. Researchers found that almost 100 whale sharks frequent the nutrient-rich waters of Nosy Be, a small island in northwest Madagascar. They spend a lot of time in the area and seem to come here to feed," lead author and project leader Stella Diamant said in a statement. That has led to a growing ecotourism industry, as people travel to see and swim with these gigantic, harmless sharks," Diamant said.
