They don't take well to captivity, most die. There are a large-roaming shark, can travel in excess of 70miles in a day. They are sensitive to electricity, the lines of whatever they're called that run down the sides of their bodies pick up electricity from fish. In captivity the electricity given off by the electronic devices found in aquariums including the lights is too intense for them. They experience sensory overload which basically disorientates them and causes them to roll over and over in the water and drives them mad and kills them.
One aquarium had a baby great white for a few months but they only got away with it because of the size of their ocean tank. She had been injured somehow and they rehabilitated her. She was eventually released after killing and eating three sharks of a simliar size and then going after the tuna in the tank. |

However you do not need a dwa for a shark, or any othe species that is fully aquatic and requires its enclosure to remain intact to survive like that, as the dwa was designed to protect the public, not the owners... a great white shark isnt exactly going to get far if it jumps out of its pool for instance...
i was having a giggle at the possiblities a few months back, as a dwarf nurse shark appeared one one of my suppliers availability lists... the dwarfs *only* get to 3 metres....

I heard on the TV (QI I think) that there are more tigers in the US than everywhere else in the world. Not 2 difficult since there basically aren't any in the wild any more. The same was true of most of the big cats, which is more surprising
