BUTANDING: Largest fish in the world

The largest fish in the world, the Whale Shark, regularly swims to Philippine waters. Donsol, a fishing town in Sorsogon province, serves as a sanctuary to a group of 40 whale sharks (Rhincodontypus), which are considered as the largest fish in the world, measuring between 18 to 35 feet in length and weighing about 20 tons.

They travel across the oceans but nowhere else have they been sighted in a larger group than in the waters of Sorsogon. (Picture of Jonathan Bird c/o Allan Amanse)
