counting backwards

I get obsessed. I don’t know how it started, but my mom said she hadn’t heard of a whale shark, so I had to show her. I love sea beasties. Especially those as noble as our friend, the whale shark. It’s the largest fish in the sea. It’s listed on the World Conservation Union’s Red List as “threatened.” However, not much is known about this gentle giant. You can even see them off the coast of New York, but I can’t swim, so I don’t get in boats. Other than the ferry. Be strong, brave beast.
