Most info is out-of-date now actually. They have 4 whale sharks there now. Two males whom I believe are both just under 20ft I think, and two females who are around 13-16ft long, IIRC? They are hoping to try to breed them in a few years, but they have to be over 25ft I believe was said. I think the males were putting on about 2ft a year, or something?
Yeah, the shipping containers were specially built crates. And yes, I heard the same story about the two males.
