## Caption

Photo by thomaspeschak / Whale sharks gather in the Gulf of Tadjoura off the coast of Djibouti in large numbers every winter. They feast on prolific plankton blooms induced by oceanographic upwelling, spurred on by fierce desert winds. Follow thomaspeschak for more photographs of the world’s largest and spottiest shark. #whaleshark #djibouti #sharks #ocean #wild
