 SALINAS, Calif. (AP) - A great white shark that survived far longer than any other in captivity was returned to the wild Thursday because it was growing too large and had begun preying on other fish at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
The shark, captured by a halibut fisherman off the coast of Orange County in August, was in captivity for 198 days. The previous captivity record was 16 days.
It was also the first great white to regularly eat outside the wild, putting on 100 pounds while at the aquarium.
