I saw this earlier before being posted, and i have to say i was pretty damn stunned.

Is it just me, or does that look fake?

No, It's Not Fake!

I think that too...

I think I saw it before on either Discovery Channel or NationalGeographic

Pretty sure the one thats part of a hotel resort is the largest in the world, though its not one "tank" persay, its all one huge water circuit throughout the hotel

Clevelands getting a new aquarium! Now we just have to see who wins the fight to be the owners: the aquarium club, or the people who want to make money off it.

Yeah, that vid does look... fake. all the fish in the back are swimming the same direction, all the fish in front are swimming the same direction, and that one whale is swimming without moving its tail o.O

I've seen it with my own eyes!
So I can tell you, it's not fake

The diver must be having a time of his life.

Sais its in japan. Dont know where the biggest one is tho.

That looks like the one in Georgia (united states). They have whale sharks in theirs too.
Not sure if the Georgia one is the largest in the world but I remembering reading that
it was either the largest or in the running for being the largest.

I definitely want to make a trip to see this in person one day. It's beautiful ^^

I watched the whole video with my jaw dropped. Now I want to go see it in person D:

Whale Sharks don't eat humans

The reason that I think it is fake, is the fact there is whale sharks in there. They're the largest fish/shark and I am pretty sure they're endangered species. Also like Ryoko has said, all the fish are moving in the same direction etc.

There are whale sharks in the Georgia Aquarium too.

These large fish should be free!! And not stuck the rest of their life in these silly little tanks.

Their safer in the tank =/

Yeah safer from man, but its men who put them in there in the first place!

Hmmm... hello? We're in year 2009. If humans wanted to worry about animals they would've started doing it long ago.

it's not that I don't agree with you

Its the fact that man hasn't worried about animals in the last few centuries is why a lot of them are now extinct!

But there are people out there that do care, and people that are trying to do something.

I think its a nice thing having whale sharks there, because we don't want people forgetting about them.

+Theres also more than one whale shark in there. Let the forced mating begin.

The earth has had several mass extinctions through its existance, all will be set straight.

THATS TOUGH!

yes but this is turning out to be the largest and it was entirely avoidable and mostly caused by human interference. not that i care but my friend tends to spout this stuf to me as she gives up on humanity...
