## Caption

You don’t see this off the SoCal coast every day… 🤯🌊 

Aerial footage captured a lone whale shark cruising between Malibu and Santa Barbara Island. As the largest fish in the world, these docile filter-feeders normally stick to warm, tropical waters like Baja California—making an appearance this far north remarkably rare. #WhaleShark #Malibu #SoCal #MarineLife #CaliforniaWildlife (courtesy: @airpilikia)
