Today, Pim Wolf from the Netherlands reports that a basking shark swims about 800 meter from the coast of Westkapelle in Zeeland province.

People estimate this basking shark is seven meter long. This species is not often seen in the North Sea.

These are amazing creatures. I don’t think many people in the UK know that these monsters lurk (bask?) off the British Coast… RH

  They are a bit more well known in Scotland, Cornwall and the Isle of Man, I think.

Basking sharks are amazing – so huge! I love getting to see them off the Cornish coast in the summer.
