"He must, so know the starfish and the student biologist who sits at the feet of living things, proliferate in all

Gulf whale shark

Remarkable video from the Mobile Press-Register's Ben Raines.  Large whale shark about six miles off Alabama's Orange Beach.

Unfortunately, these magnificent fish have been observed recently swimming and feeding in heavy oil.  They're unlikely to survive.
