Golden trevally swim with a whale shark in Cenderawasih Bay, Indonesia
Talk about squad goals. This school of golden trevally is tagging along with the largest fish in the ocean—the whale shark. By swimming with the gentle giant, the trevally may be able to scavenge the whale shark’s leftovers, and even gain protection from predators. Unlike most sharks, the whale shark is a filter feeder that feasts primarily on plankton, so the trevally are safe inside its maw. You can find it chumming around with trevally in warm waters near the equator.
