The world's largest fish, the whale shark, was spotted off the coast of Dubai this week.
Another representative of the largest shark species, the whale shark, which can grow up to 12 meters, was spotted near the Jumeirah fishing harbor in Dubai this week.
Swiss Martin Feistel, who was one of the first to see the shark, said that he immediately contacted the authorities.
Experts in the field of marine life believe that sharks to the shores of Dubai attract bright city lights. So, Dr. David Robinson, who runs the shark site, said whale sharks near the city are not uncommon.
Whale sharks are safe for humans, so there is no need to worry, says Dr. Robinson.
“You don’t need to do something with a whale shark or drive it into open waters,” the expert says, “The best thing you can do is leave it to yourself.” She will find the way and get out by herself. ”
An individual seen in the Jumeirah area was reported to be four meters long, meaning it was a small shark. According to witnesses, she was injured.
