Frilly and I won't miss you.<BR/><BR/>some of my husbandry peeps said they, too, would have taken it in for observation and learn what they could about it before it died/disappeared, since it appeared to be in distress before it was spotted.<BR/><BR/>as far as great whites, Monterey has had pretty recent success with 2 of them on exhibit, until they started eating their tank mates. but their health on exhibit was good and they re-released both sharks. excellent observation and release success.<BR/><BR/>unfortunately, the Georgia Aquarium recently lost one of their four whale sharks, suddenly and for no known reason as of yet. very sad, and a tragic trade-off for taking it out of the wild. i personally think anything THAT large should remain in the wild. it's a trade-off with any animal in captivity, though.<BR/><BR/>and i still want a frilly shark.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
