A shark at the Birmingham National Sea
Life Center is surprising her handlers - she appears to be the world's
first vegetarian shark. Florence,
a six-foot nurse shark, started life as a meat-eater, but following an
operation in 2009 to remove a rusty hook from her jaw, she has
completely stopped eating her normal prey.
In
fact, her handlers need to resort to devious tactics to get protein
into Florence's diet - such as hiding pieces of fish inside her celery,
and even in hollowed-out cucumbers.
How cute is this!!!
