Why You Won't See A Great White Shark At An Aquarium

A 20-foot-long, three-ton predator is a hard thing to keep in a cage, but that's not the reason you won't find great white sharks in an aquarium. It's more about how their gills work. Hit play to learn why great whites can't live in captivity.

What do you find to be the most fascinating thing about sharks?

[leesashriber]

Such fascinating creatures. They belong in THEIR home, the ocean. ❤️

Because they can't afford the price of admission?

Because, They Don't Last Long, In

I think that the bull shark may be more dangerous 2 human beings specifically. Rivers, indiscriminate feeding (garbage shark nickname)

I've been watching shark week on national geographic all week so this fits right into my programs.

The Great White Shark, Along Tigers & Polar Bear are my favorite animals

I love sharks. I saw a man swimming with a shark at the Bloomsburg Fair in the early 2000s. It was not a great white! Love the movie Jaws too. Thanks for the AWESOME video

A 13ft great white shark is a teenage shark. They switch from fish to marine mammals. The are not fully grow at 9 years.

I was sure that the main issue with keeping a Great White shark in captivity was mostly due to the way they have to always keep moving to breathe....
What a great upload, guys !
Thanks again !

I love sharks! Not a fan of Jaws because of the misinformation and ignorant terror the film unleashed into the general public. It's good to hear that the author of the book was educated about the true nature of sharks, and later regretted writing the book. This brings hope to my heart♥️🦈

Um, speaking of the movie Jaws!, I don't think it would be safe to have a great white shark in an aquarium and be face to face with a great white with only glass in between a the shark and the person!😳 do you remember Jaws 3?! Yikes!

While so many animals benefit from being in captivity, great whites are unfortunately just not one of those animals

[vadersgodchild]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 leave the sharkies ALONE.. STAY OUT OF THEIR SPACE

[lisakvieira]

They don't belong like other mammals in captivity!!👎

[Badhans]

I'll challenge a great white...bring it on

[Brookerulezz]

How about we just not put any animals in captivity?! K? K!

[Venkman]

Probably a good thing. There already endangered by shark trade & fact that people go after them because of attacks. They belong in the ocean.
