Great article on St Helena whale sharks – and the enigma of whale shark reproduction – from AP. I've only been to St Helena once, in 2019, but it was a very memorable trip; the only time I've seen whale shark courtship behaviour in 20 years spent researching the species! apnews.com/article/whal...

Nerd question – who woulda thunk, right? – but what's the largest litter size recorded from a shark at this point? Have whale sharks (~300 pups) been beaten yet? Here are some wee baby whitetip reef sharks for the algo :)
