That Other Whale Shark

Written by

During the last days, the inhabitants of Las Tunas made an issue over the appearance of an enormous whale shark in the area of La Herradura beach, on the coast of the municipality of "Jesús Menéndez." As it seems, the fish died after being caught between the nets of a fishing establishment. There was no human intention in his death.

The force of custom made him stand up with the first traces of dawn. He stroked his morning routine and when he left home, the sun did not appear in the waters of La Herradura Beach. His head was then lost beyond where the waves break ... On the way to El tranque, in the company of another fisherman, he did not imagine, not even by surprise, what a phenomenon would come to cross him in the darkness of the nets.

After the confirmation of the presence of the African giant snail in the Velázquez neighborhood of this city, the Health staff strengthens the surveillance and the early warning system to confront this mollusk, considered among the 100 most harmful invasive alien species on the planet.
