Kieran Liu, 5, swims with a whale shark (Rhincodon typus) at a feeding aggregation off of Isla Mujeres, Mexico. Liu swam up alongside the humongous 40ft whale shark during his first time snorkeling in the open ocean. Whale sharks are widely regarded as gentle giants of the ocean, according to Eric Cheng, the photographer who captured the footage. [Photo/VCG]
