A whale shark will eventually outswim you, but why bother? They do about 3 mph / 5 Km/h / 3.15 knots. The good news is that they're not interested in people anyway.
I'm going OT here...
We all know about The great white, (but like unmusty, unhassled elephants) they're usually human-friendly.
The two to be scared of, are the bull shark (which will nudge you before biting your arm off) and the tiger shark which won't!
Anyway, I don't want to scare people about those species, so I'll mention that the white tipped shark has a higher kill-rate on humans than any other species.
So the next time you put a Plecostomus in your fish tank or buy "rock haddock" at a fish and chip shop, don't let it bite you. It's a shark!
