Hihetetlen, de itt az újabb cápa Krk-nél.... 8m hosszú, 1 tonnás Óriáscápa

Tegnap Omisalj mellett egy halászhálóba akadt 8m hosszú, 1 tonnás Óriáscápa (ang. Basking shark, lat. Cetorhinus maximus ) tetemére bukkantak a halászok. A tetemet daruval sikerült a partra emelni.
A kiemelésről és a cápáról videó is készült:

Cetorhinus maximus, Basking Shark 

The  basking shark, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, 1765), is recognized by its huge size, conical snout, sub-terminal mouth, extremely large gill slits, dark bristle-like gill rakers inside the gills (present most of the year), strong caudal keels and a lunate (curved) tail. The basking shark has numerous, small teeth. They are mottled gray/brown to slate-gray or black in color, sometimes with lighter patches on the dorsal side. The ventral side is paler, often with white patches under the snout and mouth or along the ventral side. Two albino basking sharks from the North Atlantic have been recorded. It is the second largest fish, only surpassed by the whale shark in size. The average size is 6.7-8.8 m. The largest measured specimen was 9.75 m, and a 9.14 m long individual was recorded that weighed 3,900 kg. There are unconfirmed reports of basking sharks up to 13.7 m long.
