Introduction
Just off the tip of Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula is a small island
largely untouched by tourism, despite its proximity to Cancún. Isla
Holbox might go unnoticed entirely, except for some unique visitors
who come to its warm ocean waters each summer.
Their presence is hard to ignore, since they are 40 feet long
and weigh 15 tons. These are gentle whale sharks – not whales at
all, despite their size, but actually the world’s largest fish.
Docile and unafraid, they allow us to swim close enough to
observe the checkerboard pattern of pale yellow dots and stripes
covering their thick gray skin.
