 It remained in a private quarantine tank for 2.5 years until the in-house aquarium husbandry team decided it had grown large enough where it would not fall prey to the other sharks in the exhibit tank.It measured six feet long when it was finally introduced among big public fanfare into the tank on November 3, 2003 for public exhibition.After more than a year on exhibit, the specimen died suddenly and unexpectedly on December 16, 2004.
