Last year, I went to see Norton and Ralph at the new Georgia Aquarium after it opened. Great facility...so sad that both of them are now dead. I am sure that this will raise the question as to if whale sharks can live under these types of conditions.

What's going on down there Tim? Is it something you did? They don't seem to be taking to captivity very well.

we are a land locked city. I used to practice in an old restaurant right next to where the aquarium is now. Yet another sad news story coming from metropolitan atlanta (it never stops!)

Whale sharks are best left in the ocean. Period.
