I must say that I'm slightly jealous. It sounds like you have the coolest job!

Don't get me wrong I love my job. But I love marine biology, love fish and love to learn!

Congrats! Keep up the good work and remember your working hard for all of us wannabes!

Thanks everyone for the kind words you have given, and thanks for the best wishes. Everyone at the aquarium is very excited about it was well. Ya, I have prolly one for the best jobs in the world. I get to walk around the Holly Gounds of the MBA and talk to guests about different exhibits, adn I get paid to do it!!! Ya, its ok. One thing that I didnt mention about this whole ordeal is that if the animal ever starts to look like she is not going to make it, we will determine if she can make it on her own in the wild and release her if at all possible. We have released a number of animals and they all have done very well. Main reason for this is, very little human contact.

AWESOME sums it all up....

Congrats! This has been a dream for many people for a long time. I just hope that she continues to feed so that scientists can learn more about her and the public will learn that she isnt the deadly killer Jaws has made Great Whites out to be. I only wish this had happened a few years ago when I lived closer to the aquarium.

Very cool! It looks like a trip to the aquarium is in order very shortly! Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!

Is that size exhibit large enough to hold the shark when it reaches 16-18ft?

I ask because i am very curious and would love the opportunity to see a full-grown White Shark someday. . . without going to South Africa
