Description
Lifetime Adoption of Kadar, a 7.5-metre [25-foot] male whale shark
Kadar seems to enjoy parabola diving, and he has acquired quite a few nicks and abrasions over the years, but he is still a truly magnificent shark.
Kadar’s guardian will receive an 8"x10" photograph of him, a certificate of adoption (with their name, Kadar’s name, tag number, when and where he was tagged and the name of the tagger), and a Fact Sheet about whale sharks.
Whenever Kadar is resighted, his guardian will be notified when and where the sighting occurred. This is a lifetime adoption and no annual renewal is needed.
Item Special Note
The Shark Research Institute began tagging whale sharks in 1993 and some of them are available for adoption.
Although there is no guarantee that Kadar will be spotted again (he is a wild animal), all of the whale sharks up for adoption in 2017 have been sighted again in the past year.
Note: Funds raised by the auction will be used to support shark research and conservation programs.
All winning bids are deductible from US Federal 2017 income taxes as Charitable Donations.
