Great white sharks and zoos?
813666
There is 1 baby female living at Sea World San Diego, but I don't know if she's visible to the public. This little 7 footer currently has the record for surviving in captivity - 54 days as of 11/7/2006.\n\nGreat Whites don't survive after they're captured, and scientists are trying to figure out why. The previous record was 16 days back in August 1981.\n\nFor some reason, after about 10 days sharks stop eating, start swimming erratically, bumping off of walls, and eventually sink to the bottom of the holding tank, where they drown. If a shark doesn't keep water over its gills, it doesn't get any oxygen and dies.\n\nLots of things have proven to be involved - great whites can detect as little as 0.01 volts of electricity in the water. This transient voltage interferes with their guidance or feeding instincts and they batter themselves against the cage trying to get to the source of the signal. \n\nThe facility in San Diego has no electronics of any kind directly mounted on or near the tank. The tank is also significantly bigger than previous efforts: 1,000,000+ gallons. The researchers also took several days to acclimate the young shark in a fenced off area of the ocean, gradually reducing the size until it was the same size as its million gallon intended home.\n\nDespite years of research, very little is actually known about Great Whites. How deep they can go? What are their reproductive habits? How often do they give birth? Why are their movement patterns over a lifetime? All of these questions are still mysteries.\n\nGive it a few years. Once we get answers to some of the basic questions, we might be able to keep them in captivity. Hopefully we'll be able to not only learn from them, but protect them so our children and grandchildren can enjoy them, too.\n\nHope that answers your question,\nOdd

There are sharks in all seas and oceans aaround the world. \n\nThere are many species of sharks found in the Mediterranean, especially in the western and central Med - including Hammerheads and Great Whites. Unfortunately the numbers of these sharks, of all sharks in the med, are in great decline and in many areas the numbers are close to non-existent. The culprit for this is commercial fishing (for blackfinn tuna and swordfish - both as a result of being caught in netsAND having their natural food sources depleted, in some cases to extinction - bluefin tuna became extinct in the Med in the 1940's)and, ironically enough, tourism. Especilly around Croatia in the late 90's there were several 'Jaws Tours'operating. The 'chumming' undertaken to attract sharks obviously attracted sharks into tourist areas which resulted in the culling of many, many sharks so as not to endanger tourism!\n\nSo, yes, there are sharks in the Med but I wouldn't be put of swimming in the Med as shark attacks here are almost non existent. Between 1508 and 2004 therewere a total of 38 shark attacks in European/Mediterranean waters. 18 of which were fatal with the last reported fatal shark attack being in 1984.  \n\nBut please get your friend to put the possibility of shark attack into persective. WORLDWIDE shark attacks between 1508 and 2004 totalled 1,986 of which 486 were fatal - in almost 500 YEARS! More people have been killed by deers running into their cars than by sharks!

A Zoo, A Circus, A Racetrack (horses, greyhounds), Sea World, Animal Safari Parks, Animal Rescue Leagues (all kinds of animals are rescued).  All I can think of at the moment.  :)

Definitely swim with the Sharks... this is my passion, thus my name.  I am trained to hand feed sharks and it is a rush.  I have found sharks to be like big puppies, they really don't want to eat us, we are too bony and I guess we must not taste too good.  \n\nI have spent many hours under with all species of sharks and there are only about 5 species that I will not swim in open water with.\n\nStatistics show that more people are killed by pigs each year than sharks

... zoos ... wolves?\nIt "sounds" as if English is your first language, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.

Penguins, bears and seals. Whales. That is a consensus. As for the flaura, lichen ... try looking the remainder up.

Zoos can occasionally help in preserving an endangered group of animals (think pandas).  Zoos can also help educate the public to the plight of animals in the wild - you can't relate to something you can see, smell, and almost touch.  \n\nHowever, contrary to the person who thinks that most zoos are great, many many many are not.  They simply have the animals to make money.  They spend minimal amounts on enclosures.  They don't do any protection/conservation research.  Even the best zoos are having major problems with their animals - it's hard to take an animal like and elephant that can cover hundreds of miles in a day and put him in an acre large cage.  They literally go crazy and die.  \n\nThis isn't even accounting for the roadside zoos that cast off animals are given to.  10x6 cages for many animals. No social interacting with others of their species.  Hard concrete with some straw.  Yet, people who "love" animals visit them - giving the 'zoo' money that doesn't go to the animals.  \n\nSome zoos are ok.  Most are not.  Even water parks are sketchy.  There need to be stricter laws all the way around to ensure the care of these animals in a humane and gentle way.

There are zoos in Los Angeles and Palm Desert/Indian Wells. For more detailed locations and further information, see their websites below.

I know of no such place in Africa. Are you certain you are not thinking of the Cave Sleeping Sharks off Isla Mujeres in Mexico?

If you mean Atlanta go to the aquarium.  It is new and it has a tank that has a whale shark that is two football fields long and 5 million gallons of water.

hey bud - \n\ni have seen the film\n\nA Great White Shark decides to make the small beach resort town of Amity his private feeding grounds. This greatly frustrates the town police chief who wants to close the beaches to chase the shark away. He is thwarted in his efforts by the town's mayor who finally relents when nothing else seems to work and the chief, a scientist, and an old fisherman with revenge on his mind take to the sea to kill the beast.\n\nit is a great movie\n\nJaws won Academy Awards for Film Editing, Music (Original Score) and Sound. It was also nominated for Best Picture, although Steven Spielberg was not nominated for Best Director. The film is consistently on the Internet Movie Database's list of top 250 films.[11] Jaws was #48 on American Film Institute's 100 Years... 100 Movies, a list of the greatest American films of all time, and #2 on a similar list for thrillers, 100 Years... 100 Thrills. It was #1 in the Bravo network's five-hour miniseries The 100 Scariest Movie Moments (2004).[12] The shark was anointed #18 on AFI's 100 Years, 100 Heroes and Villains, opposite Robin Hood. In 2001 the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry. In 2005, the American Film Institute voted Roy Scheider's line "You're gonna need a bigger boat" as number 35 on its list of the top 100 movie quotes. John Williams's score was ranked at #7 on AFI's 100 Years of Film Scores.

I do not know exactly what you are looking for here. I guess you have never seen "Jaws". \nGreat whites are killers. They usually bump prior to attacking to test the weakness of their prey. Since their skin is like sandpaper, in the process of bumping it can cut skin. \n\nSharks have very acute senses; they can detect smell (like blood & urine) & vibrations from far distances. This is one reason you should never swim in the ocean with a dog. Their swimming makes vibrations that sound like struggling, inviting sharks to attack. \n\nFor more information on sharks read " Twelve Days of Terror: A Definitive Investigation of the 1916 New Jersey Shark Attacks" by Richard G Fernicola (ISBN 1585745758) & "Close to Shore" by Michael Capuzzo(ISBN 0767904141).
