Lifetime Adoption of Christopher, a 5.5-metre [18.5-foot] male whale shark

Christopher is one of the most popular sharks in the adoption program. He has been re-sighted multiple times in the decade since he was initially tagged,

Christopher?s guardian will receive an 8"x10" photograph of him, a certificate of adoption (with their name, Christopher?s name, tag number, when and where he was tagged and where he has been seen since then), and a Fact Sheet about whale sharks.

If Christopher 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

Special Notes: Shark Research Institute began tagging whale sharks in 1993. A few of the tagged whale sharks are available for adoption.

All of the whale sharks up for adoption in this auction have been resighted within in the past year.
