@TheFizzGirls Actually, these animals are treated rather well in aquariums and zoos. There is always the occassoinal attack/accident, but sharks do attack and kill one another in the wild. Some species even kill their own young as soon as they give birth to them. These animals are ambassdors for their species. Allowing people to view them up close is a great way of educating people in order to preserve these species in the wild.

@knivesy At 0:34 the small whitetip reef shark wiggled free. Employees at the aquarium captured it afterwards and treated it's wounds
