The fisherman above is named Cai Chengzh. When asked what he would do with his “trophy”, Mr. Chengzh honestly said: “I hope to sell it for about 10,000-20,000 yuan”.
According to marine biologists, the “sea monster” that Mr. Chengzh caught may be a whale shark. If it is correctly identified as a whale shark, Mr. Chengzh will not be able to sell it because under Chinese law, whale sharks are on the list of animals that need to be protected.
Whale sharks are considered the gentlest of the shark family. They usually live deep in warm waters and eat only plankton.
