These amazing pictures shows a two-tonne whale shark
being driven through a town in China strapped to a fisherman's truck who had
caught it when the whale broke into his giant net to eat the fishes it had
caught but died soon afterwards.
Speaking to local news station Cai Chengzhu
said he and his colleagues had been hauling their net out of the water when
they noticed a gaping hole in the side. It's believed that the giant creature broke the net and got inside to eat the fishes we
caught before it died, he said.
Cai then strapped the whale to his truck and
drove towards the market before officials from the Fujian fisheries department
stepped in because it is illegal to either buy or sell whale sharks in China, where they are classed
as protected.
They had planned to sell the gigantic fish, thought to be a juvenile, between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan (£960-£1920).
