Great White Shark!
Old 10-09-2008
I just found this blog talking how the new aquarium at the Guadalajara Zoo will exhibit a Great white Shark. It's the entry for Sept. 8.

The image of the proposed aquarium in Copenhagen seems to show a mixed tank with beluga whale and whale shark!

How little can you know about our oceans to display a mixed tank like that?

I hope they'll also add seahorses and nile crocodiles to that mixed exhibit. [but ok, other than species they mixed on the illustration it looks great]

I just surfed to the guadalajara zoo website and allthough my spanish is quite rusty, I didn't find anything on a WHITE shark (tiburon blanco), just that they plan to keep "various bony fish, moray eels, stingrays and the terror of the see: the shark (el tiburon).

so I guess it's badly translated. but in the translators defense. if you type shark in any language in google, most likely the first pics you'll find are those of a great white.

I just looked in the website and they do not specify the species of shark.
