Sharks don't have the brainpower to learn the crowd-pleasing tricks that dolphins and orcas can do.

All you can teach sharks to do is be lawyers. Filing visious lawsuits just isnt visually interesting.

Personally, I'd like to see someone cook this up with CGI. The usual young person telling the crowd that "Oscar" is going to leap out of the water to take a fish from their hand, and a giant shark leaps out and takes more than the fish.

It's actually an insult to sharks to compare them to lawyers.

I think that would be a pretty successful exhibit just based on the fact that nobody has been able keep a great white shark alive in captivity before.

Seaworld execs need to be locked in a small, glass box, and put on exhibit for the rest of their natural born lives.
