HE'S GONNA ENGAGE WITH ME, HOPEFULLY.

WE TRAIN THESE WHALE SHARKS TO STATION FOR THEIR FEEDS

SO THAT WE CAN MEASURE EXACTLY HOW MUCH FOOD THEY'RE GETTING

AND SO THAT WE CAN MONITOR THEIR BEHAVIOR.

HAVING THEM STATION WITH US MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY

IS THE BEST WAY THAT WE CAN MEASURE THAT.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY JUST SUCKING IN ANYTHING

AND EVERYTHING THAT'S IN FRONT OF THEIR MOUTHS.

THEY'LL COLLECT ALL THE FOOD THAT THEY WANT TO EAT,

AND THEN THEY'LL PUSH ALL THE WATER OUT OF THEIR GILLS.

SO THEY'RE ACTUALLY, LIKE,

FILTERING THE FOOD OUT OF THE WATER.

TO NORMAL AND THAT HE SWIMS IN A RELATIVELY STRAIGHT LINE.

THAT'S GREAT.

SO, I'M GETTING HIM ENGAGING TO THE LEFT,

SO ANYTIME I CAN GET HIM GOING LEFT, I LIKE TO REINFORCE THAT.

SO, RIGHT HERE IS WHERE HE USUALLY TRIES

TO START SHADING TO THE RIGHT,

THAT WE WERE OFFERING HIM.

DON'T SHAKE IT OUT. SWALLOW IT.

THERE YOU GO.

BUT WHAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS

HAS BEEN AN ELEVATED RESPIRATION RATE AND INCREASE IN TREMBLING

THAT WE INITIALLY THOUGHT WAS RELATED TO TEMPERATURE

BUT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND MORE INTENSE.

FOR ME AND FOR OUR TEAM, IT'S REALLY JUST, LIKE,

THIS ISN'T NORMAL.

HOW YOU DOING? HI.

OH, WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT?

WE'VE NOTICED HE'S GOT AN INCREASE IN THE EFFORT

IT TAKES FOR HIM TO BREATHE, AND HE'S REALLY LETHARGIC,

SO HE'S SLEEPING EVEN WHEN WE GET HIM OUT,
