Shark

Sharks are ancient predators that have ruled the oceans for millions of years. With their streamlined bodies and sharp teeth, they are built for hunting, using electroreceptors to detect even the faintest movements of prey. There are over 500 species of sharks, ranging from the gentle whale shark to the fearsome great white.

In the zoo aquarium, sharks are housed in large tanks designed to mimic ocean environments, complete with coral reefs and open swimming areas. Behind the scenes, their care involves carefully monitoring water quality, salinity, and temperature. They are fed a diet of fish and squid, often presented in ways that encourage natural hunting behaviors. Visitors are fascinated by the sharks’ grace and power, making them one of the most popular exhibits.
