beautiful shark

[spearo92]

i saw a tank with whale sharks in it on the web once...how big would that tank have been? there were multiple ws in it and other species as well

[kvblakely]

Most likely you saw the Georgia Aquarium. Their main tank has 3 whale sharks and over 70,000 fish. It holds 6.3 million gallons.

[SQUILLA898]

The tank was built in 1996, and was primarily designed just for Pacific bluefin and Pacific yellowfin tuna, as well as bonito, Pacific mackerel, Pacific Barracudas, and Black sea turtles. However, the tank depth corresponded to the diving patterns tracked in baby white sharks, and we were able to aclimate them in ocean pens near Malibu to see if they could slowly adapt to a temporary captive environment. After several weeks or 6 months maximum, they were tagged and released.

oh man ..he wants to breach already! lol

oh those powerful genes are just raring to kill seals and rule the ocean. Also the teeth and gums..need meat dangling, with blood stains everywhere around the mouth lol then he will be like his parents

[SidneyXda]

Oh my go a i had to wipe a tear from my eye, to see a baby great white leap out and take that bait..its one the most beautiful thing i have seen . Even at such a young age..he just took that bait..like his forefathers and foremothers lol

[SidneyXda]

OMG are those baby great whites??? so cute! wow i never knew they had conservation like this. So they will put them back in the ocean when they are like a few foot in size right? how did they even find Great white female pregnant or great whites mating. amazing.

[Mrfeet6634]

Nice !

[MrTungau]

cool but watch your step. don't fall into water, because if u fall then RIP

[23126]

You should start feeding him people, so he gets bigger.

[cue0987]

lol

[KoBrAmC2k8]

lol but ya must remember all fish no matter what type, only grow to the size fitted to the tank they live in.

[Fandubs4thewin]

Holy Cow!

You guys had a Great White pup? How is it doing, is it still there, or did it get released, because from what I've heard, Great White's haven't had a very good track record in captivity.

[kvblakely]

Reading their blog, it sounds like they only keep a Great White for max 6 month and then release it and bring in a new one, so they are constantly rotated. When they release it they tag it and track it in the wild.

[SweetTY1986]

thats really cool! I have never been there looks fun.

[baib10]

i live in los banos so im a few hours away

im going there hope 2cu

[OceanTheOrca]

Hi, I have a question I would love to be answered. When feeding the Great White Shark, it goes straight for the dead fish, so how come the Shark isn't interested in all the live fish in his/her tank? And has the Shark ever attacked a keeper or another live animal.

Thanks

[evilinfant]

well, I think i could maybe help you with the first part. Theres certain fish in the sea that these sharks and other sea critters know have a disguisting taste, and they probably know if theyve been living in captivity long enough that theyll get fed a few times a day. Or to me at first, those shadows under water are just the same shadows as the fish.

[BugMagnet]

it goes for the dead fish because sharks are lazy so they prefer dead prey because it is easyer to get

[boycrayz101]

my aunt works there she explained... see the shark doesn't aways go for the dead fish min fact it mostly doesn't eat that much.. plus when the shark did go after a fish one time they decide the shark mayb getting to big so thats when they considered relaseing it

i hope that helpped a little

[zanzibarfox]

how many gallons is the outer bay exactly?

it seems like that's the perfect amount to hold juvenile whites because no other place ever pulled it off. i remember when i was like 10 and they tried to house a larger juvenile white at steinhardt in a tiny tank. now that seems like cruelty to me, what on earth were they thinking?

oh well. i guess that's why our aquarium is the best. =]

[MontereyBayAquarium]

The main outber bay tank is a million gallons. He did well there but is now back in the wild (Baja last we heard)

[boycrayz101]

the tank doesn't look that big from the top thats y they had to let it go it's to small for big whites

[JayTiller14]

i really want to go to monterey bay. but i live in england. ive researched flights and everything of how to get there but im only 15 :( my dream is to see a great white shark. I either go cage diving when im older. or visit Monterey bay :( I Love These Animals. I Would love to work with them everyday. Give me a job? lol :(

[Chronoecho]

aww :( I go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium all the time, and he is defiantly a great spectacle to see. I hope you make it over, and will be able to see him, along with all the other great things in the Monterey Bay!

[DBZcosplayer]

I love this video, but do you have any videos of your new little guy that you just got on Aug 28th? He's VERY elusive on the bay cam! Usually since he's at the top, you can only see the very tips of his fins! Frustrating!

[warhammer456]

cool watch my save the sharks vid

[paulinbaja]

You can adopt and name a great white shark at a website called adoptashark(dot)com, very cool

[MontereyBayAquarium]

Dr. John McCosker? No, I don't think so. Thanks for the comment.

[paulinbaja]

If you like sharks check out adoptashark(dot)com it´s a website where you can adopt a shark, even a great white, with a satellite tag and they tell you where it went in the ocean, how deep, and more, very cool

[korndadd209]

i went to go see that, and it was cool that it was actually a great white, but they had tuna in the same million gallon tank that were the same size....but you can tell the great white owned the tank

[Brent]

wow! thanks for sharing.
