LIFE HIST0RY OF A TIGER SHARK (GALEOCERDO CUVIER) IN THE WORLD'S LARGEST AQUARIUM

The Living Seas at EPCOT Center, Walt Disney World was home to a tiger shark for over three years. This is believed to be the longest period of time that a tiger shark has been kept on display. The Living Seas is one of the few aquariums in which both fish and sharks are displayed toqether. An overview is presented an the husbandry involved in maintaining this animal. The shark's behavior patterns, feeding habits and growth are discussed. The effects of chemical treatments in the aquarium on the shark should prove useful to other public aquariums that hold sharks.
