Whale sharks spotted


Kota Kinabalu: A pair of grayish blue whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) or basking sharks have been spotted off Police Bay, off here, since Sunday afternoon. It is believed they have been in the waters over the last two weeks.

Boatmen from the Gayana Eco Resort and Resort Representative Gillian Tan sighted the world's largest fish, feeding on schooling shrimps on Sunday afternoon while they were travelling back to Kota Kinabalu from the resort between 3pm and 4pm. The resort is sited on the bay.

"The whale sharks were pretty friendly. They came close to our boat about two feet away. There are two of them in the bay approximately 100 metres from the shore. It is estimated that they are about 20 feet in length.
