Still a shark

It's a filter feeder, and doesn't really have teeth. Not a danger to humans.

MidlandRedux
She's naturally graceful underwater. Been swimming, surfing, and diving since she was a kid.
IPutMilkInTeaForTheSwirlyThingItDoes
The water pressure below the surface would reduce its buoyancy; since its also tied up it acts like a singular weight instead of strands 1/2
IPutMilkInTeaForTheSwirlyThingItDoes
Kind of like feathers, individually they are light but when they're connected together their weight adds up
superheavydeathmetal
I don't think this is correct because that would mean water compresses hair. For that to be the case, there would have to be air in hair.
IPutMilkInTeaForTheSwirlyThingItDoes
Hair follicles can hold small amounts of air molecules but I do see your point, I think it's more of a case of it acting as one weight

Not sure why this is getting down voted. That is a Whale Shark and is really cool.

A lot of this kind of tourism is actually damaging the environment and the whale sharks themselves

I think it was getting downvoted because they were expecting a more dangerous shark

That's what I thought. That's why I pointed out that it is a Shark for those that thought different.

I'm gonna be honest with you right now, that is a pretty standard butt.

IMO, the exceptional part is the natural curve of her back into her butt. Not everyone has much of a curve, and hers is very nice.

I don't know if you can really "hunt" krill. Also, this type of feeding seems normal with filter feeders like whales and mantas.

This is called active surface ram feeding. It is natural for the shark to do this and does not hurt the animal.
