It’s just a very very very resource intensive program and we felt like we had accomplished our goal of introducing the general public to a live white shark.) It took a huge, carefully planned system to keep a white shark alive. And even then, the sharks didn’t quite fit there. We can’t seem to stop trying though. Earlier this year, an 11 and a half foot great white shark was taken to an aquarium in Okinawa, Japan after getting caught in a fisherman's net.
It was the only adult white shark ever to be put on display, and within 3 days it was dead.
