It's inside their throat I'm pretty sure. I've run into some in the Philippines while diving and I was told not to panic if they get too close. They have huge mouths but their throat is only a few inches wide.l and all the fish get kinda funneled in there.

I was also told not to touch them or there was a fine, and one of them thought that scuba divers were just the neatest thing and kept trying to investigate us.

Donsol? Oslob has the worse reputation with allowing tourists to touch the animals.

Tourists can get fined a hefty price for touching them, but I haven't really seen them enforce that ...
