55 Feet Long Unknown Fish Species Found in China
IBT ^ | 29 April 2011 | IBT

A 55 feet long fish has been found in the seashore of Guangdong, China.

According to a local newspaper, the big fish weighs at least 10,000 pounds.

Hwang, a 66-years-old fisherman living in the near area, said he has never seen anything like this in his whole life and that the fish was tied with ropes when it was first found.

Many people have flocked to see this strange specimen since its discovery, although its rotting corpse already emits a foul smell.

The people living in the area think the fish was caught by some fisherman but was abandoned due to its heavy weight, hence the ropes.

Due to the serious decay of the fish's body, it is almost impossible to identify the species, according to the local newspaper.

The fish was discovered on April 25th.

According to a local newspaper, the big fish weighs at least 10,000 pounds.

No. They nurse their babies with milk, and so are considered mammals. Milk=mammaries=mammal. Something I learned in college....

You can examine it further when its canned and shipped to your local Wal-Mart store as sardines.
