The Monterey Bay Aquarium moved their 5th great white shark to exhibit yesterday. I thought you guys might be interested in some pics of us transporting her to her new home for the next few month. Sorry the pics are not that great. I had to squeeze between a ton of people but I may be getting better pics soon. Here are also a couple news articles talking about her and our great white shark research at Monterey if you are interested. Right now she is on 24 hour watch (I watched her from 8 to 10 last night) and seems to be adjusting quite well.

Plus a youtube video of moving her!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGH7sB5iumM

damn thats awesome! Is she eating well? I know that was a problem with the last few they had.
 
We know she was eating in the pen down in SoCal. They will probably try to feed her today. We are all keeping our fingers crossed. But yeah, last great white was only kept for 11 days because it refused to eat. This one already seems to be doing better than the last one though. It's my weekend so i'll know more tomorrow.
 
Hope it goes well, I'm sure great white's are a pain to keep in captivity.
