Four Malaysian fishermen could be fined for not releasing a protected 23-foot-long whale shark they caught by accident.

They towed the 2.2 ton juvenile whale shark, known as a Rhincodon Typus, to shore after it got entangled on Friday in their nets off the coast of northern Penang state.

It died shortly after from the multiple cuts it suffered from the propeller blades.
