Great white sharks can be seen everywhere in the ocean. Because of its huge size, there are few natural enemies in the ocean. However, some studies have found that great white sharks often "run away" when they meet killer whales. Great white sharks are huge carnivores in the ocean. They are not friendly to humans, but we haven't found great white sharks in the aquarium yet. What's going on here?
Let's see what happened in those aquariums with great white sharks, and we'll know why. Since 1950s, aquariums all over the world have been trying to catch great white sharks and want to show them in aquariums. Every time there is an aquarium showing great white sharks, there will be many tourists. But often when great white sharks come to the aquarium, they will kill other creatures in the aquarium. Over time, the aquarium had to let these great white sharks go. So far, no great white shark that can be kept in captivity for a long time has been found.
In the mid-1950s, an aquarium in the United States showed a great white shark for the first time, but what they didn't expect was that this captive great white shark only lived for one day. Since then, aquariums all over the world have been trying to catch great white sharks and keep them in captivity, but the final result is that great white sharks die or other creatures in the aquarium are killed by great white sharks, so these aquariums can only be left to fend for themselves.
Before the Monterey Bay Aquarium in the United States, other aquariums in the world kept great white sharks for only 16 days. In fact, the longest time for keeping great white sharks in captivity is 198 days, especially in Monterey Bay Aquarium. It is very difficult to keep a great white shark in captivity for so long. This aquarium in America is one of the largest in the world. There are many marine life in it, which can reach 300 thousand.
The most special thing is that there is a very large aquarium in this aquarium, which can store 3.78 million liters of water. Even so, the staff of this aquarium only chose a small great white shark for captivity. Because of this, the great white shark can move freely in the aquarium and will not prey on other creatures in the aquarium, so it is relatively simple to raise.
Even so, it was only kept in captivity for 198 days, and the staff had to let it go. Because in the aquarium, this great white shark was restless and became very aggressive. Not only that, it killed two other sharks in the aquarium, and the staff had to let it go. Later, this aquarium never kept great white sharks in captivity for such a long time. It was not until 20 1 1 that this aquarium decided not to show great white sharks any more.
The last exhibition was held in Japan on 20 16. The 3.35-meter-long great white shark in captivity only lived for three days and then died. After that, the aquarium also canceled the plan to exhibit great white sharks.
Great white sharks have lived on the earth for a very long time, with a history of nearly 1000 years. If we look for their ancestors, we can find that their history can be traced back to 6000 years ago. In any case, it is certain that they yearn for freedom, and only by letting them live in the ocean will they be happier.
