New White shark at Monterey Aq.

Sablefish are extremely oily, and calorie dense.
Like many deep-sea fish :) Oilfish are absolutely disgusting. But getting those oily buggers at their depths must have been a real treat to the whites, eh?
 
He is GORGEOUS!!!

We went to see the White Shark today. HE WAS GORGEOUS!!!! I am so glad that we are members to the aquarium and can go back before he has to go back to his home. He is such an amazing creature. We scooted our way up to the glass and he swam right in front of us! I never thought I would get to see one live...much less a few feet away. By-the-by, the shark is there as part of a project to help us learn more about them and there habits. They have been officially put on the Threatened Species list due to their low birth rates and the high rates of fishing. If you have the chance we highly recommend getting down there to see him, it totally worth the drive and the crowd!
 
Cool deal, Brandy! My boyfriend's mom is in town this weekend and we should have gone to see him, too, but I'm afraid of big crowds :( Slightly agoraphobic, I guess.
