Local fishermen captured footage of a rare black whale while fishing approximately 2 to 3 kilometers from the coastline in the sea.
In the recorded video, the fishermen displayed their excitement, with some cautioning others to keep a safe distance, while others light-heartedly referred to it as a shark.
Earlier in 2020, a rare sighting of a humpback whale occurred off the coast of Balochistan.

The viral footage on social media depicted the majestic creature leaping out of the water.
Local fishermen discovered the whale while fishing near the shores of Balochistan and shared the extraordinary sight on social media platforms.
In an exclusive interview with ARY News, the Technical Advisor of the World Wide Fund (WWF) highlighted that the humpback whale is endangered according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, with only around 100 individuals remaining worldwide.
He emphasized that the humpback whale inhabits the waters of Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Oman, and Iran.
