What is International Whale Shark Day?

International Whale Shark Day celebrates the world's largest fish and raises awareness about their threatened status. These gentle giants can reach 12 meters in length yet are endangered due to boat strikes, fishing, and habitat degradation.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
