Not a single oceanarium in the world has a great white shark. Is it not interesting enough to show it? Or are people afraid of its attacks, even when it is behind thick glass? Many attempts have been made to keep these animals in captivity. In 1995, the first great white shark was caught and sent to Marineland in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, it did not last even a day in the oceanarium. Scientists still know little about these predators, but they have made several assumptions.

SUMMARY: These huge marine animals live in cool coastal waters around the world. Humans are not on the shark’s menu. Typically, there are no more than 10 attacks per year. In 1955, the first great white shark was captured and sent to Marineland in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, the predator did not last even a day at the aquarium. At SeaWorld in San Diego in 2003, a shark managed to survive for 16 days, but eventually it was decided to release it back into the ocean. Scientists still know little about the great white shark, but they have several theories. Incredibly, depression and shock can lead to the death of these powerful animals. No aquarium in the world can provide a shark with the conditions in which it could move around like in the wild. In an aquarium, a great white shark cannot move freely, which causes problems with its respiratory system. Moreover, the shark can suffer from hypoxia, or lack of oxygen. Great white sharks need to hunt and eat prey alive, and they often refuse to eat in captivity. You can’t even imagine how difficult it is to replicate the unique composition of ocean water. Great white sharks are extremely important for maintaining the ecological balance in the ocean. The loss of even one of them puts the entire ecosystem at risk. Unfortunately, there are only 3,500 of these sharks left in the world. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5-Minute Crafts on Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- More great articles and videos at http://adme.ru/
