A individual in Iran has climbing aboard a colossal whale shark.

In a bizarre turn of events, a man was captured on video riding a whale shark off the coast of Abadan, Iran. The video, which has since gone viral, was first reported by Daily Mail and was later shared by Anastasia Ivanova on various social media platforms including VKontakte, OK.ru, Telegram, Viber, WhatsApp.

The video shows the man grabbing onto the shark's fin and climbing onto its back. Remarkably, the whale shark, despite its size, did not react to its passenger. However, the man's actions were not without consequence as he lost his balance and the shark swam away.

Whale sharks, as stated earlier, pose no threat to humans as their primary food source is plankton. These gentle giants of the sea can grow up to 12 metres in length and weigh as much as 20 tonnes, but their passive nature makes them harmless to humans.

The incident was recorded by local fishermen off the coast of Abadan. No information was provided about the man's identity or the outcome of his ride on the shark.

In a separate incident, workers in Volgograd discovered the concrete "leg" of Stalin, weighing 200 kilograms. The discovery has sparked interest and debate among historians and locals alike.

This unusual event off the coast of Abadan is a reminder of the unpredictable and fascinating world we live in. It serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of interacting with wildlife, even when they appear harmless. It is important to remember that all animals, no matter how large or small, deserve our respect and should be treated with care.
