Albino Whale Shark

Breathtaking !!!...that's what the pictures that you are about to see are.I know the post does not fit the portfolio of this blog, but could not resist sharing this .

Scientist Antonio Moreano, snapped this ghostly albino whale shark in the waters at Darwin, the northernmost island of the Galapagos in South America.Antonio was amazed to see the 30-foot female beast swimming just below the surface and dived in to get a closer look.According to online magazine Divernet, brave Antonio jumped into the water with just mask and fins to snap the creature as it approached the boat.It is claimed the sighting is the first report of an albino whale shark.Brit dive trip organiser Anne-Marie Kitchen-Wheeler said: "Antonio told us how he had immediately recognised the creature as a whale shark from its size - but thought it must be swimming upside-down to have been so white."

cheers!!!
