As the saying goes,
Water is always bluer on the other side.
Why did the shark cross the slide?
To get to the food on the other side.
I believe the shark wanted to hunt its
food not be fed.

Maybe the shark thought the munchies were tastier in the other pool? It should have learned it’s lesson from the speculators that upgrades aren’t always sustainable.

Marine fish that are subject to fresh water basically there cell structure explodes. Same vice cersa. Sometimes when trying to save a fish that is infected with some type of parasite this procedure will be used. If done when the fish is to far gone, of incorrectly yes it will kill the fish. But I agree the chlorine probably had alot to do with it. I have also been there, and the chlorine levels at that slide are probably the max allowed. Just like the sign at my pool in the back yard says. Notice the is no P in our OOL please keep it that way. But all jokes aside it was a tragedy, 2 fold, that it happened, and that the shark was there in the first place.

Sharks “breathe” water. So, a shark in chlorinated water would be like a person in a room filled with poisonous gas. DEAD

I find it to be most interesting how a shark, which lives in water, can be killed by chlorinated water, and at the same time, our governmental “know-it-alls” say us humans have to have chlorine in the same water we drink. Is it me, or what???

“Shark commits suicide”– now I have heard it all. Maybe it committed suicide because of the economic crisis, it’s Christmas and could not buy gifts, perhaps it lost its house. Yeah that’s it, it lost its way from its house and by accident landed on a water slide.

Dara -
“Sharks have been known to swim up freshwater rivers and streams, no problem.”

I believe only the Bull Shark is capable of breathing BOTH salt and freshwater. This shark was a reef shark.

There are a few species of sharks in Kenya that are “Freshwater” sharks. I don’t know if they can handle salt water though.

Reminds me off the tiger incident last year. Remember the one where several people got mauled (1 died) and it turned out (after a lot of denial) that the exhibit wall wasn’t high enough? An 18 inch wide and 1 foot high sustaining structure between a shark exhibit and a waterslide… This could have ended up a lot worse.

How do they know the shark committed suicide? Couldn’t it have been an accidental death? Did the shark willingly jump into the tank knowing that it would result in it’s death? Had she been depressed lately? Did she leave a note??

I think the title of this story is not funny or even a little amusing. I think it is irresponsible to even suggest it. Now, on the other hand – the comments are amusing

It was likely the chlorine, not fresh water, that killed it. That, along with an inadequate enclosure.

Sharks have been known to swim up freshwater rivers and streams, no problem.

Just look up the Jersey Shore attacks from 1916 that inspired the Jaws movies – the final attacks were in fresh water – Matawan Creek, 30 miles inland. 2 dead, one severely injured.

We all have heard of whales that beach themselves and die. Alot of whales that are held in captivity die. Perhaps this shark wanted out of its prison and gave it’s life trying. Something to think about.

…

As already hinted at, the ‘suicide’ post title overstates the incident a bit. I mean, we do not call auto accidents suicides.

But it makes for a ‘tastier post’ (there and here) … so what the h3ll.
