An extremely rare and critically endangered sawfish was caught in fishing nets in Karnataka’s Malpe on Thursday. A video showing the giant fish‘s carcass being carried in a crane has been widely shared on social media.

In the video, people can be seen catching a glimpse of the sawfish or carpenter shark. The carcass of the fish is being lifted and carried by a crane. As the crane moves backwards, its “saw” dangles in the air while people click its photographs.

A Twitter account, Mangalore City, shared photographs of the sawfish. “An extremely rare & endangered species of carpenter shark (sawfish) was caught in fishnets at Malpe on Thursday. The huge carpenter shark weighed around 250 kgs, was accidentally trapped in the nets of a boat named ‘Sea Captain’ that had left Malpe port to fish in deep waters,” read the tweet.
