Malaysian fisherman tows in rare giant whale shark

The 7m shark got entangled in his net said the fisherman. "It suffered multiple cuts from the propeller blades under my boat." It took him two hours to tow the shark to shore.
"I have never seen such a gigantic shark in my 30 years as a fisherman."

On Dec 14, the carcass of a 2m dolphin was floating off the Esplanade seafront. The carcass was pulled out of the water by an ntv7 cameraman. The dolphin had suffered a deep cut on its head believed to have been caused by a propeller.
