Whale sharks swimming distance
prev btn next btn
Whale sharks are ocean wanderers. They swim about 25 kilometres each day; around ten thousand kilometres per year. That’s the distance from London to Cape Town. Some of them, though, just swim around in circles. Mafia Island, 20km off the Tanzanian coast, is home to what may be the world’s laziest whale sharks. Or possibly the smartest. Potentially both.
