When a baby whale shark was discovered swimming in the open sea on Sunday in the Maldives, it was a big deal.

According to a local news report, a whale shark that young had never been spotted in the region, and the find fueled speculation that whale sharks breed in the area. It was regarded as a “joyous occasion” by a local research center.

However, when the 1 1/2-foot critter was captured and later shown to be swimming in a resort pool, it was distressing to conservation groups because whale sharks are threatened and protected, and do not belong in captivity.

The docile filter-feeder whale shark was hand-captured by employees from Ganhei Island Resort, and originally said to have been kept only temporarily in holding tanks before it was released at the urging of conservationists.

But later in the day, photos surfaced showing the whale shark in a saltwater pool at a neighboring island, swimming with resort guests.

It turned out that instead of releasing the whale shark, an attempt by its captors was made to sell the animal to the owner of another resort on a neighboring island. However, that person demanded that the captors take the whale shark back to where it was caught, and set it free.

The saga does, in fact, appear to have a happy ending. The baby whale shark was released after being cataloged in the Maldives database as WS217. Researchers will be able to identify the whale shark in future years, if it returns and is spotted.

It was given the name NOOMAA, which in the Dhivehi language translates to blue flower.
