Dead Whale Shark at Karachi Hawkesbay Beach

Was surfing through Dawn News and found this interesting story. A whale shark was found dead after it entangled in a net near the Hawkesbay beach. The fisherman than dragged it on to the shore. In the picture you can see children playing over the body of the Whake shark. I thought would share this picture with our viewers, since its a bit rare of talking about Whale and Sharks near Karachi beach.

Also here is an interesting fact i wanted to share;

The largest specimen so far recorded in the world was caught on Nov 11, 1947 off the Baba Island near Karachi. It was 12.65 metres (41.50ft), weighed more than 21.5 tonnes and had a girth of seven metres, according to information available on the internet.
