Feeding the WHALE SHARKS at the Georgia Aquarium!
Jonathan visits the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta-one of the largest aquariums in the world-where they keep not one but four whale sharks in captivity, as well as two manta rays. Whale sharks are the largest fish on Earth and Jonathan learns how these animals are maintained in captivity while he dives with them in a 6 million gallon fish tank!

Anyone remember watching this as a kid and years later it randomly popped back into your head?
I have to admit, I laughed at the Bird's eye view pun, intended or not !

Such an amazing dive Jonathan. I always wanted to go there. Im living through you with this dive. Thanks for sharing.
I love whale sharks, almost as much as eels, hehe! It looks like they take really good care of their animals, too!
Visiting this aquarium will definitely be on my bucket list!

I just visited over Thanksgiving! Beautiful views!
I've been to the Georgia aquarium when I was 5 years old.
I’d say these Jonathan bird’s blue world aquarium videos are so cool awesome nice and terrific
Nice clip and Jonathan is such a kind person. He's so appreciative of this experience
Just amazing with all the good things they do with wildlife and all the other things they do to help our precious wildlife.
Im going be there Sunday for my birthday. I can't wait
BlueWorldTV is a awesome KZread channel and a awesome diver. He inspires me and I get tons of information every day. I wish I could go diving with him someday!
I have been to every place in the Aquarium including the place where they feed the whale shark and the mantaray
Jonathan, I have seen tons of your videos and I must say it's very refreshing to watch you do what you love.
I picture a pilot filling up his pre-flight briefing when he suddenly stumbles across this: CARGO: LIVE WHALESHARK

thats awesome they have whale sharks and hammerheads and manta rays. at the aquarium i go to, which is called aquarium of the pacific and it's located in long beach, CA. they have animals that look a little similar to those animals like bonnetheads, zebra sharks, cownose rays, a whiptail ray, bat rays, a mangrove ray, and a southern stingray :) honestly i think i'd visit this aquarium in a heartbeat!

thank you for making this video
I REALLY wish I could get over my damn fear of the ocean! I love it, and ironically the ocean has been my sanctuary forever and a day, but I just can't seem to get myself past the point of knee deep anymore! But to see them in their environment, and to have NO fear, and know that you are safe...Who wouldn't dream of a bucket list opportunity like this? Wow...If only. Beautifully done and I just told my Husband that we need to plan a get away trip to that amazing museum! Thanks for the video!
I Love the bubble windows too. Thanks for helping my research into this possible career interest. I would've fallen asleep if others did not come by so i wasn't rude :)
I didn't know UPS shipped whale sharks... well damn... I like UPS... maybe I should just get my own whale shark shipped right to my home!

Hi I love this video
That is awesome!
WOW that was awsome
I've just visit this video again boy it brings good memories
I don't have my SCUBA certification yet but both the National Aquarium in Baltimore and the Georgia Aquarium are on my list to dive, this tank though makes Baltimore's new tank look kinda small.

I am so incredibly jealous of this it is awesome what you do for a living! I can't do any of it were I live in miserable little England but hopefully will one day!
I absolutely hate when people say that it's selfish to have animals in an aquarium!!! Newsflash people...if it wasn't for aquariums and places available to view many species of life that we can't see or don't understand then people wouldn't know how precious they are. People think sharks are all killers or certain whales and fish are just food. This can give people another view of the animals that we know nothing about. It gives people an opportunity to see these large creatures living in peace and harmony. Instead of just watching them on shows in their killing or feeding modes. Face it...we know that we all don't have the knowledge to know what these animals do in the wild except what we are told or what we watch. It's important to just watch and learn what these animals do out in the dark mysterious oceans and how else is this possible without aquariums or zoos? How else would children and adults learn facts instead of what we are told?? Not to mention....this is where large or small animals that are endangered can be without harm. It would be different if the animals were mistreated.

+Heather Sipe There is a very good argument for the animals in captivity acting as ambassadors for their kind so that people will appreciate them more. It's hard to appreciate an animal that you can never see alive. I am against taking wild animals from the ocean for aquaria, but I'm ok with captive bred animals.

I never properly appreciated all the legal safety requirements of aquariums and zoos in the U.S. until I went on a trip to South America, visited an aquarium, and saw a 2 foot tall pole and some rope was the only thing separating me and other casual visitors from falling into a 12 foot deep pool filled with all kinds of different sized fish, eels, sting rays, and sand sharks. And it didn't really hit me how dangerous that was until I had already gotten back to the U.S. and went to the Georgia aquarium and saw all the things they did to ensure there was 0 chance of someone getting hurt on their property.
i have been there its awesome can't wait to go again!
whoa nice really love it huge tank!
WOW! AMAZING!
You're lucky to feed a manta ray!
Thanx Jonathan u made my day
I love that place it’s my fav place to go

I love it
Sometime next year me and my parent's and I will be driving me down to Atlanta Georgia!!!😀😀😱😮🌴 To go to the Georgia Aquarium-World's Largest aquarium in the World!!

Hi Jonathan, around 11:57 of the video in the left hand corner, I saw a shark swimming along the bottom. Was that an angel shark? I'm fascinated with those kinds of sharks!
