ukubhukuda nama-shark whale. © Pol Dss Ama ifotho Ushaka lwamawhale aluhlali nje olwandle, ulinde ukunakwa kwakho: ukuhamba ngesikebhe kuya ezindaweni zabo zokudla ezinamapulangwe kuthatha amahora angu-1 kuya kwangu-1; i-spotter emkhunjini ihlala ibukela izinhlawulo zazo ze-telltale. Endleleni, ukuvakasha kwethu kwakunenhlanhla ngokwanele ukubona izinhlanzi ezindizayo nezinqola zamahlengethwa. Kodwa lokhu kwakuwukuphela kwezinto ezibonakalayo ezimbikazi ze-whale, izinhlobo ezinkulu zezinhlanzi emhlabeni.
Uma i-pod yabashaki ikhona, isikebhe sihamba eceleni kwendlela yabo ekulindelwe. Abantu ababili ngesikhathi babatshelwa ukuthi balungele ukungenelela esiqondisweni somqondisi. Uma usenjalo emanzini, uyalwa ukuba uhambele ngaphansi kwamanzi, ukujula kwe-snorkel, futhi ugibele ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka, ugcine ukunakekelwa ukuze ungangeni ngqo phambi kwezingu-whale (ukuze ungabangeli ukucindezeleka okungadingekile nokunciphisa amathuba ukuhlunga amanzi lapho sishiya amakhemikhali ngemuva), noma ukugibela ngqo (funa omunye angakulimaza ngengozi enkulu). Umhlahlandlela uhlala neqembu kuze kube yilapho i-whale shark ibhukuda ingafiki futhi ungabuyela emkhunjini. Iqembu ngalinye lithola okungenani amathuba amathathu okungena kuwo.
Le ndlela ibonisa indlela engokwemvelo yokucubungula i-Cancun Adventures; ezinye izikebhe endaweni yaqaphela ukuthi abantu abangu-12 baqhekeze ngesikhathi esifanayo ngaphandle komhlahlandlela (ngokuphambene nemithetho kahulumeni waseMexico), ngokuphazamiseka ngokuphazamisa u-shark sharks futhi kubangele ukuba bahambe ngokujulile.

Izindawo zabo eziphuzi noma ezimhlophe zifana neminwe yeminwe; azikho ezimbili ezifanayo emhlabeni whale-shark.
I-whale shark ibeka amaqanda ayo ngaphakathi, mhlawumbe amaningi angaba ngu-300 ngesikhathi, futhi ayithwala kuze kube yilapho ebeletha ehlala encane. Naphezu kwenani elikhulu lamaqanda athathwa yilowo wesifazane ngamunye, ososayensi basacacisa ngezinhlobo zezilwane njengabantu abasengozini, okusho ukuthi bangaba yingozi ngaphandle uma izimo zisongela ukusinda nokukhiqiza kwazo.
