Whale shark stranded on UAE beach saved by fishermen

Fishermen in Sharjah have rescued a whale shark after it became stranded on a beach.

Videos shared on social media show the whale shark, which measured an estimated six metres in length, near Luluyah Beach in the exclave of Khor Fakkan.

The whale shark became beached after it got caught in the fishing nets, with about 10 men pushing it back into the safety of the water.
