WATCH: Basking Shark spotted off coast of Waterford
A basking shark was caught on camera off the coast of Kilfarrasy, County Waterford on Wednesday evening.
The shark, which is a regular visitor to Ireland's shores when the water is warmer from late spring to late summer, is the second-largest living fish in the world with only the whale shark being bigger.
Basking shark adults usually range from six to eight metres in length and they feed on microscopic animals called zooplankton.
