- For the fifth time, the Aquarium places a young white shark on exhibit. The five-foot, three-inch shark was collected by Aquarium staff August 12 near Malibu, California, and placed in the million-gallon Outer Bay exhibit on August 26.

My theory for the reason its hard to keep them is because of their natural instincts. they go all over the world and cannot in a tank. thats the problem
I remember the day monterey bay aquarium brought in the Great White shark. Since then i have always loved sharks and especially the Great white shark.

Ugh, I came over from Ireland to the Monterey Bay Aquarium in April 2009, and looks like I just missed her.
funner to watch in its natural environment
I'm sorry that such a wonderful creature is being kept in a tank but it's going to be temporarily and, above all, I agree that's very important to help the great public respect and possibly love the most missunderstood and feared creature on earth. I think the real dangers for sharks are not the tanks of aquiariums but the ferocius cruelty of human beings out there in the wild. Unfortunately I live on the other side of the world otherwise I'd rush to admire this new baby.
one of the most depressing things i've ever seen
I just missed this when I went out to California to visit my former fiancee, now wife. They put her back out in the ocean a month prior to me getting there. :( I really wanted to see her. Great Whites are my most favorite misunderstood shark. Keep up the good work there guys!
what a magnificent creature!
wow the guy that got the shark out of the tank being pulled by a truck, was very brave. Great video keep em up :) I miss california so much@
Baby great white shark
@Pineapplegirl25 at that size a great white is harmless, they are alot less aggressive than tiger or bull sharks so getting in a tank with a young baby is pretty safe at that size
It was so tiny. About the size a springer spaniel.
@WazamRiteUpDaGiggity You can't. They released the shark to the ocean years ago. She grew too big & powerful.
What a journey, I hope shes not too stressed by the move and likes it in the aquarium.
My friend works @ Monterey and I am so thrilled he gets to be part of something special.
Wonderful video. Thanks for filming and sharing. She is a lovely girl.
@tommoore2012 White sharks are placed in our million-gallon exhibit, where they join many other open-ocean species, including bluefin and yellowfin tunas, bonito, barracuda, sea turtles and other sharks. This exhibit was designed to simulate the open-ocean environment and engineered with sharks in mind.

I've noticed this is the 5th one you've had....so why not keep it?
By tagging and releasing white sharks we can contribute significantly to public understanding and protection of these maligned animals-an ecologically important and increasingly threatened species.

I am excited to hear this! I hope the shark does ok.....we are going to the aquarium for the first time in a few weeks. Keep up the good work, Monterey Bay Aquarium!
Absolutely stunning achievement in maintaining such a difficult species to keep in captivity. I made the trip from Houston to see the third specimen and it was worth every penny of that trip. People who see this animal will themselves promote shark conservation and education for generations to come. And the scientific data gathered from their time in captivity and their post-release migration and travels are a wonderful compliment to the observations of wild populations. Congratulations!
nice catch she's lovely hope she stays as long as the other sharks you guys kept
@ShareSmoking We've had great success exhibiting white sharks. You can learn more on our website.
It's basically wrong to keep these animals in captivity. Too oppressive .
Guys, I'm not sure how many gallons that tank is, but let me just point out. Sharks only grow as large as their environment. So if she is going to reach her full length of 18-20 feet, then the tank will have to have...maybe...800,000-1,000,000 gallon tank
Beautiful! I can't wait to come and see her. You all do magnificent work.
What the apple-pie-christ? I thought great whites were too dangerous to be in captivity! Of course I got that from the movie Jaws!
Such precise plans/conditions that must be in place to capture and successfully relocate just one of the LORD's marvelous creatures.The oceans provide exactly what each perfectly designed("adapted")organism needs.Humans must carefully study what God put in place long ago.Close duplication of natural systems is so necessary. I marvel at how so many scientists continue to disbelieve in the LORD when His works are so evident all around them.They,of all people,should be devout and humble.
They are fish! They are not mammals like whales and dolphins. Not a big deal to have a shark in a giant fish tank.
