The carcass of what is being reported as a 36-foot long whale shark (Rhincodon typus) has been making the news over the past couple of days. The shark was reportedly found “unconscious” offshore, according to several reports. Fishermen hauled the shark back to Karachi Harbor where it’s carcass was lifted out of the water by multiple cranes.
The dead shark reportedly sold for 1.7 million rupees (approximately $18,760), according to CBS.
