Whale Shark Recovery?
The Whale shark which was floating belly up has survived its first 24 hours with human help. A doctor from Phuket was brought in especially and many people held the giant whilst moving her around letting her take in water and obviously the important part oxygen.

The marine rescue team took the whale shark back out to see today to deeper water in a specailly made floating crib allowing the shark not to swim independently and with the motion of the boat let her relax and breath again.

Many people are guessing it is one of the trawling fishing boats caught the baby shark in its net and either let it go or is struggled until it was free. Looking at all the cuts and lines on its head and under the belly I suspect it was caught and struggeled quite allot. We all like to eat fish but trawling is stupid and very dangerous to all the environment, some things take years to recover from the extensive damage caused.
Just hope the whale shark is strong enough to make it and I never get to see one like this again.
