"We bring videos and images captured underwater up onto the land to show people who cannot swim", says Zola Chen, a marine ecology photographer based in Taiwan. First observed in 1976 off Kahuku Point in O'ahu, Hawaii, the Megamouth shark is one of the rarest documented species of sharks.
The then Waikiki Aquarium director Leighton Taylor named it Megachasma pelagios, Greek for “giant yawner of the open sea". Its mouth can extend roughly to 30% of its body length, and it is one of only three filter-feeding types of shark. To date, it has been officially sighted less than 100 times. . thephoblographer.com
