Why Great Whites Can't Survive Aquariums

Ever wondered why you never see great white sharks in aquariums? Turns out, it’s not their size or their bite—it’s because captivity is basically a death sentence for them. These ocean giants need to swim nonstop to breathe, and tanks just mess with their instincts. Even the best attempts ended with sharks getting stressed, injured, or dying soon after release. Wild, right? Guess we’ll have to stick to Shark Week for our great white fix! #Science #GreatWhiteShark #AquariumFacts
