Schmidt Ocean Institute took to Instagram to share the video. It shows a whale shark. What, however, is even more incredible to watch is the fish giving a ride to a few ‘passengers.’

“For International #WhaleSharkDay: While performing safety drills during the #TwilightCorals expedition, #ResearchVessel Falkor crew caught sight of a whale shark passing by with a few "passengers,” the organisation wrote. International Whale Shark Day is celebrated each year on August 30.
