they are actually slow moving creatures that use echolocation to communicate. also there prey consists of small fish and krill so there is no need to intimidate. even though they are large they generally travel at around 5km an hour so no fast movements, though they do move their entire body to swim instead of just their tail.

i did some more research and they were partly right. it is speculated that whale sharks may communicate through body language, since they have good hearing it is thought that they use vibration.

Whale sharks communicate greatly with their body language. They also show aggression as a way of communicating with other sharks and their prey.
