The fisherman threw his net, caught a 1500 kg 'Baahubali' fish… this is how luck unfolded.

A local fisherman caught a 1500 kg 'Baahubali' fish in Machilipatnam, Andhra Pradesh. This fish is none other than the whale shark. When the fisherman caught this giant fish in his net, he was stunned. He jumped for joy when he saw that it was a whale shark. Later this giant fish was brought to shore at Gilkalatindi port with the help of crane. Here Chennai traders bought immediately, and that too for huge sums. According to information, this whale shark (Rhyncodon typus) is an endangered species known for its slow speed and large size. International Whale Shark Day is celebrated around the world on August 30 every year. Whale sharks are the slowest moving fish. Whale sharks live in the open waters of the oceans. The temperature of the Gujarat sea coast favors them, due to which whale sharks come to the Gujarat coast to spawn. Because of this, the whale shark is also known as the daughter of Gujarat. What makes the whale shark special: The whale shark is usually about 40 feet long. Their weight is up to 40 tons. This giant fish has a flat head and a white, yellow or brown checkerboard pattern on its back. Scientists believe that whale sharks can live for about 60-100 years. Whale sharks are found in all tropical and warm temperate seas around the world. Whale sharks mainly eat small creatures such as small fish, shrimp and squid. Fishermen have said that traders in Chennai are buying this whale shark, which is used to make Ayurvedic medicine, at a good price. That's why vomit is sold for crores. Whale vomit is also used to make perfumes.
