A large Shark was found dead in Pakistani sea and the local fishermen brought the body to shore.
the beast is being report to be around 40 foot long and around 50 ton in weight.

the news was there on express news and i though it is interesting and must share.

the details might come in but often such issues are gone with time.

lets see.

saw the shark on TV and it had lines and spots, lines are on tiger sharks which are know to grow up to 18 foot. and the spots are on whale sharks that do grow upto 40 feet but do not exist in Arabian sea.

the shark population in Pakistani sea is mostly of Black Tip Reef Shark And the great hammer head sharks

regards!

LArgest on record, only 41 feet.

. The largest confirmed individual had a length of 12.65 metres (41.50 ft) and a weight of more than 21.5 tonnes (47,000 lb)

And they are found in the Arabian sea, around Rann of Kutch.
 
What could have possibly killed the animal?
 
i hope they didn't kill the poor beast...
