    I believe they have 2 Whale Sharks which are the first ever in captivity...
    If you know what a Whale Shark is you know how fucking ridiculous it is going to be to see them up close. They're like 40 feet long.

    The fish, one 15 feet 6 inches, and the other 13 feet total length, were considered suitable for transport to Atlanta, and took an 18-hour ride on a UPS plane to their new home at the Georgia Aquarium. The fish were flown more than 8,000 miles, under the care and supervision of Georgia Aquarium professional staff, on a UPS B-747 freighter from Taipei, Taiwan, through Anchorage to Atlanta.
