World’s Biggest Giant whale Shark Caught in Karachi Pakistan 7th Feb 2012

Hundreds of people gathered at a fish harbor in Pakistan’s city Karachi on Tuesday to see a 40-feet long dead fish, a sight uncommon in the country during the past many years. The giant whale shark washed ashore on Tuesday but according to media reports it was spotted unconscious 10 days ago some 150 kilometers away from the fishery. A video of Geo News about the dead giant fish is available here. According to this video some fishermen had gone out fishing on Tuesday and had found the dead fish and brought it to Karachi Fish Harbor. The dead whale shark was lifted off the water with the help of more than two cranes, after earlier attempts had failed. In July 2010 a 17-foot whale shark was found on the shores of Hawksbay in Karachi, but Tuesday’s fish was certainly more than double in size and weight. Later in the evening the Express Tribune newspaper reported that dead shark was sold at Rs 1.7 million (around 888). The report also reads: “Two cranes were called in to fish the dead whale shark out of the water, which was approximately40 to 50-feet long and six-feet wide. Both cranes failed to pull out the fish and were sent back as at least three more cranes were required to carry out the task.”

    @bacteriado That’s a completely ignorant and racist thing to say. None of them killed the whale shark, scientists had discovered it’s already-dead floating body miles off the shore and these fishermen? just so happened to have brought the body to shore. Most are cheering because they had never seen such a creature before. None of them ate it either; the body was sold to the Karachi Fish Harbour Authority for scientific research.

    @Andersagbarie Megalodon has nothing to do with the Whale Shark here. The Megalodon, which existed but is now THOUGHT to be extinct, is the? forefather to the Great White Shark. Not the species like that Whale Shark here. Just saying.
