	   |  Kuroshio Sea @ Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, Japan  
 
			
			This has got to be one of the coolest things anyone can ever see in real life.  I have no idea how they keep the sharks from eating all the other fish though.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7deClndzQw  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okinawa_Churaumi_Aquarium  Quote:   | The main tank called the 'Kuroshio Sea' holds 7,500-cubic meters (1,981,290 gallons) of water and features the world's second largest acrylic glass panel, measuring 8.2 meters by 22.5 meters with a thickness of 60 centimeters.[2]  Whale sharks and manta rays are kept amongst many other fish species in the main tank.[3] |   Last edited by slammer111; 01-18-2010 at 01:21 AM.

			If you're smart enough. Sharks don't just eat any fish that's in its way. If you really understood how the water world works. It's basically one giant family. They understand each other more than how humans understand each other.
 Anyway, this just shows how amazing and beautiful our world is. Oh and I did some researching, the person who shot this is a cinematographer based in Vancouver. Pretty cool!

			yes I know the post is from a year ago but the reason why those Whale sharks do not eat other fish is because they don't eat other fish they only it plankton. Remember not all sharks eat other fish.    |   |   |   |    |  |
