According to wikipedia, the largest known whale shark was 41.5 ft in length- the one that was found in Pakistan today was 40 ft.
The unconscious whale was sighted 10 days ago along the coast, and it wasn’t until today that it was pulled out with 5 cranes.
The sharks are illegal to hunt in India and it was stated in the local Karachi newspaper that the whale was already dead when it was pulled out of the water.
Pardon my pun, but something seems fishy to me about this story.
