Ushaka lwamawhale elangeni. © Pol Dss Iifoto Ukubhukuda kunye ne-whale sharks yinto ekhethekileyo yokufunda kunye namava okufunda: encinci iyaziwa ngalezi zidalwa ezesabekayo, ngaphandle kokuba ngenxa yeso sizathu baye bakhetha amanzi kwisiqithi sase- Isla Mujeres kufuphi neCancun , eMexico, ukuba badle ixesha lokutya ngexesha leenyanga ngonyaka nganye. NgoJulayi ukuya phakathi kwe-Agasti yinkathi yokuqala ye-whale shark, nangona iyakwazi ukubona kwiihotele ezivela kwi-Cancun Adventures (kunye nezinye iinkampani zetyelelo) phakathi koMeyi naphakathi koSeptemba (kukho i- Whale Shark Festival e-Isla Mujeres).
Ngokuqinisekileyo ndiyintombazana yamanzi, ngoko i-whale-shark adventure yam yakutsha (ehlelwe yi-Cancun-based AMStarDMC) yayingaphandle kwendawo yam yokuthuthuzela. Oko kwathiwa, i-Cancun Adventures isikhokelo, i-Pol, yayiyinto engavamile ngandlela-thile, ikhuthaza ukunyuka kwam emanzini, iphendule yonke imibuzo yam, kwaye ndibambe isandla sam njengoko ndanduluka nge-whale sharks. I-Wetsuits iyafumaneka ngaphandle kwerhafu eyongezelelweyo, kwaye ndandifumana ngokugcwele ukunyuka kobukhulu obunikelayo.

Thatha i-Plunge ukujongana neziGogo zoLwandle
ukubhukuda kunye ne-whale sharks. © Pol Dss Iifoto Iifolanzi ze-Whale azigcini nje ukuhlala e-offshore, zilindele ingqwalasela yakho: ukuhamba kwinqanawa ukuya kwindawo yabo yokutya isityebi ku-1 ukuya kwi-1½ iiyure; i-spotter kwisikhephe ihlala ikhangele iifintale zazo. Endleleni, uhambo lwethu lwaluyinhlanhla ngokwaneleyo ukubona intlanzi ehambahambayo kunye neqela elidlulayo lamadonphin. Kodwa le nto yayikuphela kwentshukumo ye-whale sharks ephawulekayo, intlobo enkulu yeentlanzi emhlabeni.
Xa i-pod yehaki ikhona, isikebhe sihamba eceleni kwendlela yabo ekulindelekileyo. Abantu ababini ngexesha baxelelwe ukuba balungele ukungena kwisikhokelo sokhokelo. Xa usesemanzini, uyalelwe ukuba uhambe phantsi kwamanzi, ukujula kwe-snorkel, kwaye udide ngokukhawuleza njengoko unakho, ugcine unonophelo ukuba ungangeni ngqo phambi kwe-shark whale (ukwenzela ukuba ungabangeli ukunyanzeliswa ngokungadingekile nokunciphisa amathuba ukuhlunga amanzi apho sishiya khona iikhemikhali ngasemva), okanye ushukume ngqo emva (hleze umntu akuhlasele ngephotho enkulu). Isikhokelo sihlala kunye neqela kuze kube yilapho i-whale shark ibhukuda ifikelele kwaye ungabuyela kwisikhephe. Ngalinye iqela lifumana ubuncinane amathuba amathathu okungena kuwo.
Le ndlela ibonakalisa indlela yokusingqongileyo ye-Cancun Adventures; ezinye iinqanawa kuloo ndawo zagcinwa zivumela abantu abaninzi abali-12 ukuba batyelele ngaphaya kwexesha ngaphandle kwesikhokelo (ngokuchaseneyo nemimiselo karhulumente waseMexico), ngokubonakalayo kuphazamisa i-whale sharks kwaye kubangele ukuba bahlalise.

Ukuphendula kwam kwenzelwa ukuqala ukugcoba nokuhleka ngokukrakra ngolu hlobo olungalindelekanga: ukujonga le sidalwa kwiso kuyamangalisa, njengokubona emphefumlweni wolwandle. Eyona nto ichazwe ngokugqithisileyo njengefana ne-catfish-dotted dotfish - imilomo yabo inokufikelela eziphantse ziikubhite ezintlanu ububanzi - i-whale shark iyingqungquthela ngeendlela zonke, ize ivele ihambe xa isondliwa ngabantu kwindawo yayo yokuhlala.
Inhlonipho ye-Adventures 'yeCancun' inhlonipho ngala ma-giants amancinci yaboniswa ngokubanzi ngecandelo lezemfundo lendwendwe: UPol wathatha ubuhlungu ekuphenduleni yonke imibuzo yethu, nangona kuncinci kakhulu kwaziwa malunga ne-whale sharks. Ngokomzekelo, ayenjalo imikhomo nangona i-feed-filter kwi-plankton, i-phytoplankton, i-krill, intlanzi encinci kunye ne-squid, i-algae encinci, kunye namaqanda aseTayuni: zinemigodi ebenza baphefumle ngaphantsi kwamanzi. Imibala yabo eluhlaza okanye emhlophe ifana neminwe yeminwe; akukho zimbini ezifanayo kwihlabathi le-whale-shark.
I-whale shark ibeka amaqanda ayo ngaphakathi, mhlawumbi amanani angama-300 ngelo xesha, kwaye ayithwale aze azalwe. Nangona inani elikhulu lamaqanda aqhutywa ngabasetyhini ngabanye, izazinzulu zisichaza iintlobo ezinjengezingozi, oku kuthetha ukuba zingasengozini ngaphandle kokuba iimeko zisongela ukusinda nokuveliswa kwazo.
