Shocking footage shows how fishermen off the east coast of India caught an endangered whale shark on September 18, and went on to illegally sell it for a large sum.

The fishermen operate out of Dhamara fishing harbour in Bhadrak district, Odisha state, and caught a whale shark named 'Don Sagar' weighing over 107kg.

Fishermen sold this whale shark for a sum of INR 749,000 (around £8540). The sale and catching of endangered fish is illegal under the Indian Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972.
