The world's biggest fish in the ocean are thought to be whale sharks. These
spotted aquatic creatures are relatively friendly and normally move slowly,
in contrast to dangerous sharks. While it is not advisable to approach them,
whale sharks typically don't bite people.
However, despite being the biggest fish in the world, they are incredibly
powerful and can even topple bats.
Two women were thrown into the ocean after a whale shark collided with
their boat in a similar occurrence. The brand-new viral video was posted on
Twitter on December 15 by a user going by the handle vertime.
Two males swimming in the sea while wearing life jackets are seen in the
footage. A man throwing a bat may be seen from a distance.
Although the women are implied to be having fun in the water from the
perspective of the spectator, the video's latter half shows a very different
and rather ominous scene.
The visual scene then shifts to an underwater setting where, much to the
shock of social media users, a massive whale shark can be seen gurgling
copious amounts of water and creating waves on the surface. The two women
are said to have maybe fallen off the boat when the whale shark hit the
boat.
Although the enormous fish does not appear to be making an assault, the two
women appear to have been struck by lightning at the unexpected
encounter.
I'm never swimming in the ocean again, the tweet's author declares. The
Twitter community flocked to the comments section as soon as the video
appeared on the microblogging platform to share their reactions to the
unusual encounter.
One user said, "These are whale sharks and are gentle giants. They are
harmless. You can snorkel in Cebu, Philippines, and see them there. Don't be
concerned; they won't bite you. Another person said, "Little whale sharks
aren't dangerous to us, but I'd freak out."
On the other hand, a third person had some serious doubts about the video
and believed it to be a hoax. This video is a fraud. The battalion of the
bat is where? And light reflecting off the water's dark surface... very
blue," he said.

Even though it's unclear if the viral video is real or not, the footage is
unquestionably funny. The Twitter post has garnered more than 227.9k likes
