A group of friends were out fishing near Mooloolaba, Queensland, when they were shocked by the rare sight of a curious whale shark on Wednesday, January 10.
The animal nosed their boat closely and caused one awed person to wonder if it was trying to chew their out-board motor.
“The whale shark is very rare in Queensland and we don’t believe one has been caught on camera around the Sunshine Coast in years,” uploader Michael Clark said. Credit: Four Eyewear via Storyful
