    It's a really beautiful sight to see in person. For those wondering, this window is only a small glimpse into this 6.5 million gallon exhibit. The keepers of these rescue whale sharks change the pattern of the water current so that the whale sharks feel and act like they would in an ocean. And no, the glass (which is actually an acrylic resin) won't break. It's almost two feet thick. In this room that have a block of it to show you how thick it really is an talk about the install process.

  • @saxlaxdm10

    It should be noted that the Georgia Aquarium bought the Whale sharks from Taiwanese fishermen who intended to butcher and sell them on the fish market. So instead of these beautiful creatures being killed and eaten they are being housed at the top aquarium in the world and are the first of their species to be studied in captivity. Also the tank is massive. I don't know if it's the biggest in the world but it is incredibly impressive.
    Edit: okay wow I didnt realize I had a comment with all these likes. Cool. So backstory is I went on a tour at the aquarium where we got to see the tank from the other side, watch them feed the sharks and sea turtles and what not. They litterally have to paddle out in boats to get in position to feed them. The tank is designed in a way that they have the ability to move in novel patterns and directions, i.e. they cant just swim in a circle all day forever, which is good because it allows them to make decisions and stimulates their minds. They feed them the same thing they would eat in the wild. There are places they can go without public observation. It's very cool and very educational. Aquariums like the Georgia aquarium are basically research labs that use the tourism bit to raise money for science and conservation efforts. They're contributing A LOT more to the environment and these species as a whole through research than if they had bought and released the animals.
    Plus it raises awareness and educates the public. You can tell people "the whale shark is the biggest fish in the world" and it's just kinda like "okay cool". But when you watch those things swimming above you, 60+ ft long, it inspires you and you grow more complete as a human and you love the Earth more. They're not there for entertainment, they're there for education and research and science and to demonstrate the connection we have with the world.
    Sure you could buy it back from a fisherman and release it, but that dosent do any good. Itll probably just get caught again. And you cant even blame the fisherman, hes just trying to feed his family with what he has, no ones getting rich killing whale sharks. By keeping them and learning about them, you can help change policy and learn what measures need to be taken to protect them and preserve them in the wild.
    I dont really think the sharks bumping in to each other is a sign of mistreatment or anything like that... they care deeply about these animals and do everything in their power to make sure they are well taken care of and in a stimulating environment.

      Well, you see, it becomes a question of sustainability. For example, a common goldfish may get the optimal health benefits from living in a tank of 20 gallons or more. It is very easy and relatively cheap to supply your goldfish with a 20 gallon tank. Of course, housing more goldfish would require a bigger tank. Let's say, 40 gallons. Still doable, of course, but suddenly a lot more to ask. At least it is easy to mimic the natural habitat of a small, hardy, freshwater fish. Every species has it's strengths and weaknesses, after all!
      Now, let's say that the optimal tank size for a singular whale shark is a cool 10 million gallons of water. Great! All we need to do is acquire, and continually maintain, that 40 million gallon tank for at least the average natural lifespan of those fish. But...that's expensive! And as a pelagic fish, one the size of a bus, that swims dozens of miles a day, with the tremendous dietary need of literal tons of krill, that healthy natural environment JUST MIGHT be harder to recreate than that of, say, a goldfish, or even a smaller, more sedentary shark.
      Wow! It seems that those small sharks aren't NEARLY as suseptible to neglect as those big old whale sharks! Maybe we shouldn't be just as concerned about those goldfish and little slow sharks! Because that would be stupid and show a lack of understanding of the subject at hand.
      It's really quite simple. When you think about it.

      I didn't realize that the Georgian economy was cripplingly dependent on whale shark displays. That's sad and shocking. Quite possibly the real tragedy here.
      That "best veterinary care" quip reminds me of the orcas at Sea World. Those vets did the best they could by those animals. But the whales get sick and die very young nonetheless. Because some animals are ill suited for captivity due to their biology. Which was the whole point that you inevitably missed.
      Sucks.
      Perhaps the whale sharks are fine. Maybe not. Only Georgians are desperate enough to take that chance, I guess. It's going to be devastating for them when the damn sharks eventually die. You must lie awake every night, petrified by the weight of your overwhelming concern.

    if they're way too sick or hurt to be on display, they get nursed behind the scenes until they're decent enough to be shown, and then they're released into the wild.

They get too big to keep in captivity and they can die due to the stress. The ones in the video aren't fully grown, those are relatively young whale sharks. When we went, there were only 2. I am sure they're going to release those ones soon.

      +any name it goes backwords a lot further, in the aquariums defense, though i still see your point especially for four of them. However, in this case, i think it is important to say that they have absolutely terrible eyesight.

    Whale shark two: Whale shark one, this is whale shark two.
    Whale shark one: This is whale shark one, send it.
    Whale shark two: I’m going to need you to change course. Head west instead of southwest. You are on a collision course.
    Whale shark one: Negative, increasing speed. It will be a miss.
    Whale shark two: Whale shark one. We will collide if you don’t change course. We are going to collide while crossing turn immediately!
    Whale shark one: cmon! Cmoooon!!
