Oslob whale sharks watching is at the top of the bucketlist for many travellers: Here are some reasons you might want to reconsider:
- Whale shark watching in Oslob is crowded
- Whale shark watching in Oslob is unethical
The whale sharks in Oslbon are fed all year round. This strongly alters their behaviour in two ways: 1. some whale sharks actively approach boats looking for food, 2. they stop or change their migrations.
The crowded nature of the experience can lead to close contact with humans resulting in injuries and infections due to skin contact.
Do you typically educate yourself about the ethical aspects before you seek out animal encounters?
