I've been to a couple of aquariums, and I've never seen a great white shark. I didn't think much of it at first. Maybe it's because I've only been to the San Francisco, CA, one and the Sandy, Utah one. But I wanted to see one at some point.

But the chances of anyone seeing one, Are very small

Great white sharks cannot be kept in captivity, Not only do they grow very book, Sometimes up to 15 feet. But sharks aren't programmed to live in giant tanks.

SeaWorld has had one in the past, But it died in after 16 days!
The shark started to harm it'self by hitting itself against the side of the tank; There were visible marks on him. He caused destruction, By eating all of the other fish in the tank with him. Then eventually he ended up dying.

People assumed that the reason the shark wasn't able to survive, was because it wasn't captured while he was a baby. So in Monterey Bay California, they caught the shark beautiful and young,
They were extremely careful on Transport, And gave this shark a million gallon tank; They tried to mimic the ocean environment as much as possible, By having the shark eat what it usually eats in the wild. While sharks are young, they eat a variety of smaller fish, then later on in life they go to mammals for food such as seals and sea turtles. But the shark didn't care to eat much, Sharks like to hunt; They don't like to be fed by humans.

They did what they could to mimic the shark's natural surroundings by giving him a million gallon tank! But after all the effort, It still didn't work out.

Why to waste our money!?

I would say " Think about the sharks!" But that doesn't seem to have as big of an impact.
Yes! I'm disappointed that I may not see a great white in my lifetime! But these sharks deserve to stay in the wild, and They clearly cannot be contained. Lets save our money and leave them alone! Bring in some new fish or something! It makes me sick that people keep trying, and these poor sharks are dying for no reason! We should be thankful for the wonderful photographers who have gotten photos of this beautiful animal! So lets are happy with the photos! Unless you want to go diving, Then you can see one in person!
