A 15-inch whale shark, locally known as butanding, has been found in Sorsogon.
World Wide Fund for Nature-Philippines (WWF-Philippines) reported That a baby whale shark was caught yesterday in a nearby San Antonio, a barangay of Pilar town just adjacent to Donsol, Sorsogon where it was about to be sold in the local market. It is believed to be the smallest whale shark in the country, and perhaps in the world, might lead to answers to the mystery of where the sea creatures breed.
The authorities in the area was then alerted and they took over the custody of the whale shark and after some documentation it was again freed in the deep part of the ocean.
