[JardiniBoy]

I love that last pic of the huge mekong cat ... seen it a few times, but still makes my think what it must be like to see a monster like that in person!

[BlueLobster]

Seeing them pictures makes me scared to ever want to go deep sea diving.

actually it would be pretty cool to meet a whale shark when deep sea diving. They eat plankton and though rare are often very sociable with humans.

Snapped this pic of a whale shark during my trip to the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, GA I live pretty close, but its worth a trip for those who havent been! Lots of fun for the family, and some really cool fish to see.
