Two days ago, local fishermen on the coastal shores of Kerala released a massive whale shark that had been entangled in their nets, lingering near the shore for over 13 hours.
“Everyone presumed the shark was lifeless and Forest department officials were prepared for a post-mortem examination. However, I observed movement in its tail, and local fishermen assisted us in returning the shark to the sea,” said Ajith Shanghumugham, a local fisherman, recounting the incident from the Puthenthope coast in Thiruvananthapuram district.
Shanmughan, along with fellow fisherman Ramesh, used his boat to successfully tow the shark back to deep waters, dedicating an extended period at sea to ensure its safe return and overall well-being.
