A 40-foot long whale shark was just sold by a group of Pakistani fisherman for RS 1.7 million (about $20,000 USD). The bus-sized whale was found dead off a pear in Karachi and required five cranes to life on shore.
Mehmood Khan, the owner of the Charai Fishery, said that the whale shark was found 10 days ago about 100 miles from his fishery. After dragging the giant shark back to land, Khan attempted to lift it out of the water with two cranes. The two cranes failed to lift the shark and Khan had to call in three more cranes to get the job done.
Here’s a video of the cranes trying to lift the whale shark out of the water.A group of fishermen caught a monstrous whale shark in the Arabian Sea. A video clip was posted on YouTube showing the fish, about 40 feet long and six feet wide, being
hauled in at the port using cranes in the Pakistani city of Karachi.
Large crowds of astonished people gathered to see the the eight-ton Leviathan beast, as two cranes struggled to haul it out of the water at Charai Fishery. Another crane
had to be brought in to join in the effort. According to the Pakistan Daily Times, even more cranes had to be called in later to pull the fish ashore. CBS News reports that at least five cranes were finally needed to reel in the whale shark from the water.
