Wildlife Encounters

99

I’m so happy that they made it illegal to chase dolphins.  And I’m also happy that it is illegal to swim with dolphins.  I still see them sometimes and you can tell that they are a lot happier.  

Tiger sharks are very dangerous.  They can get very aggressive and most of the shark attacks in Hawaii are from these beasts.  But, when you see them swimming around in the ocean, they are the most beautiful fish ever!  I dive a lot so encountering a shark is normal.  This one looked fat and full.  And also very long and wide.  This one could eat you in one bite. 

I’d have to say that the scariest thing in the ocean is when a humpback whale sneaks up to you from behind.  Your heart stops, you freeze, and you can’t breathe.  It’s like seeing a ghost.  But when it swims by, it’s the most beautiful thing in the world…
