    You are correct Ram Puppy. Was a really big success compared to past attempts.

    They trained the whale sharks to accept being fed by a net. (or something like that) I saw the video; it's pretty cool. The sharks basically open their mouths and the staff shovel krill in front of them. It would probably be totally impossible to keep the quantity of krill alive and swimming in the tank that's necessary for the sharks without seriously fouling the water.
