That is pretty sweet, I am hoping to go there this winter. Maybe I will get to see it. Did they loose both the whale sharks there or did they only loose the one?

They've lost several since opening. Last time I talked with them, they weren't going to add more, instad switch gears to other animals.... like mantas.

It's cool, I just hope they don't kill it like the whale sharks.
