About Cabo Pulmo National Park

Founded in 1995, Cabo Pulmo National Park is one of Mexico’s newest and most-visited national parks. Situated on the east coast of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, Cabo Pulmo National Park spans the distance between Pulmo Point and Los Frailes Cape, approximately 62 miles in length. The park is home to a diverse range of geographical features and microclimates. Just offshore, it harbors one of Mexico’s largest reefs. There, a number of truly spectacular marine flora and fauna can be found.

Help Us Protect Cabo Pulmo's Reef

Please wear only biodegradable sunscreen, or better yet, no sunscreen at all. The oils and residues from sunscreen cover our reefs and sea life in a layer of oil - making it impossible to live and thrive. Sunscreen is thought to be the reason for worldwide reef "bleaching". Let's work together to keep our planet beautiful and our reefs alive for generations to come! Cabo Pulmo's reef is a protected area - make sure not to touch the reef with your hands, feet or fins. Following these rules will help preserve Cabo Pulmo National Park for future visitors and generations.

Whale sharks have a mouth that can be 1.5 m (4.9 ft) wide, containing 300 to 350 rows of tiny teeth and 20 filter pads which it uses to filter feed. Unlike many other sharks, whale sharks' mouths are located at the front of the head rather than on the underside of the head. Whale sharks have five large pairs of gills. The head is wide and flat with two small eyes at the front corners. Whale sharks are dark grey with a white belly. Their skin is marked with pale grey or white spots and stripes which are unique to each individual. The whale shark has three prominent ridges along its sides, which start above and behind the head and end at the caudal peduncle. Its skin can be up to 15 cm thick and is very hard and rough to the touch. The shark has two dorsal fins set relatively far back on the body, a pair of pectoral fins, a pair of pelvic fins and a single medial anal fin. The tail has a larger upper lobe than the lower lobe (heterocercal). The whale shark's spiracles are just behind its eyes.

The whale shark is the largest non-cetacean animal in the world. The average size of adult whale sharks is estimated at 9.8 m (32 ft) and 9 t (20,000 lb). The largest total length the species can reach is uncertain due to a lack of information on how measurements were taken in many of the reported individuals. Several specimens over 18 m (59 ft) in length have been reported.

A large verified specimen was caught on 11 November 1949, near Baba Island, in Karachi, Pakistan. It was 12.65 m (41.5 ft) long, weighed about 21.5 t (47,000 lb), and had a girth of 7 m (23 ft).

In 1983 a whale shark caught in a net of the cost of Mumbai and detailed measurements were taken from all over the body; it had a total length of 12.18 m (40.0 ft) with an approximate estimated weight of 11,018 kg (24,291 lb). This was considered the largest accurately measured specimen by J. G. Coleman in 1997.

In 1868, the Irish natural scientist Edward Perceval Wright obtained several small whale shark specimens in the Seychelles, but claimed to have observed specimens in excess of 15 m (49 ft), and tells of shark specimens surpassing 21 m (69 ft).

In a 1925 publication, Hugh M. Smith described a huge animal caught in a bamboo fish trap in Thailand in 1919. The shark was too heavy to pull ashore and no measurements were taken. Smith learned through independent sources that it was at least 10 wa (a Thai unit of length measuring between a persons outstretched arms). Smith stated that one wa could be interpreted as either 2 m (6.6 ft) or the approximate average of 1.7 m (5.6 ft) to 1.8 m (5.9 ft) m based on the local fishermen.  Later sources have stated this whale shark as approximately 18 m (59 ft) and the accuracy of the estimate has been questioned.

A shark caught in 1994 off Tainan County, southern Taiwan, reportedly weighed 35.8 t (79,000 lb). There have even been unverified claims of whale sharks of up to 23 meters (75 ft) and 100 tons (220,000 lb). In 1934, a ship named the Maurguani came across a whale shark in the southern Pacific Ocean, rammed it, and the shark became stuck on the prow of the ship, supposedly with 4.6 m (15 ft) on one side and 12.2 m (40 ft) on the other.  No reliable documentation exists for these claims and they remain "fish stories".

Scott A. Eckert & Brent S. Stewart reported on satellite tracking of whale sharks from between 1994 and 1996. Out of the 15 individuals tracked, two females were reported as measuring 15 m (49 ft) and 18 m (59 ft) respectively. In a 2015 study looking into the size of marine mega fauna, McClain and colleagues considered an 18.8 m (62 ft) female individual, reported from the Arabian Sea in 2001, as being the most reliable and accurately measured.
