Whale Shark Poops on Snorkeler
By Joseph Tepper, July 8, 2016 @ 03:08 PM (EST)

Think you’ve had a bad day? Well, at least you haven’t gotten crapped on by a whale shark.

Underwater videographer Julian Gunther had a “unique” experience with a whale shark off of Isla Mujeres in Mexico. While snorkeling, Julian turns on his go pro to film a parade of whale sharks swimming by. All of a sudden, one of them lets loose a bowel movement.

“I'd like to say that's the first shark to sh*t on me, but its not,” Julian writes in the YouTube video description.

The description also said that the whale shark turned to number two when Julian tried to dive underneath for a silhouette shot. The video was taken with a GoPro Hero 4 Black edition in 1080i with no filters or lights.

It’s not the first time an underwater photographer has been defecated on by a large animal. Last year, Keri Wilk found himself in a sperm whale “poop-nado.”
