"In a typical feeding event in the wild, adult white sharks usually rush up from underneath
marine mammals and attack them," aquarists stated. "Although we don't know how juvenile white
sharks attack their prey, we think this was just a case of the soupfin getting too close to
the white shark." --Monterey Bay Aquarium Press Release.

After about 170 days in captivity, a soupfin shark was attacked and killed by the great white
at the MB Aquarium. I thought it was timely as there has been some dissention about keeping
an animal of this type in captivity under any circumstance. The primary argument against it
has been the fear that she would lose her aggressive nature and the ability to resume her
place in the ocean upon her inevitable release.
