How a haunting video revealed a dead shark floating in a dark tank at an abandoned zoo
A forgotten 16-foot great white shark, abandoned in a decaying wildlife park in Victoria, was rediscovered in 2018 when a viral exploration video exposed her deteriorating formaldehyde tank. Caught in 1997 and preserved for display, Rosie was later rescued in 2019 by Crystal World director Tom Kapitany, restored in glycerol, and now awaits a dedicated educational exhibit.
