The Whale Shark in Holbox Island

shark

Also known as “domino” due to their coloring gray-bluish with abundant white stripes and dots, the whale shark is the world’s largest fish, since it can measure up to 15 meters in length. The sightings of the Whale Sharks in Mexico are in the area of protection of Flora and Fauna Yum Balam, north of Cancun, very close to Isla Holbox and Isla Mujeres

The whale shark prefers the warm surface water, especially in areas where there are outbreaks of colder water rich in nutrients such as in the waters between Cancun, Isla Mujeres and Holbox island in the summer, since these conditions are conducive to the growth of plankton on which they feed.

The whale shark is very docile and gentle, is not afraid when you are approaching divers or swimmers.
