Something doesn’t seem right with this whale shark in this aquarium. Swimming among other marine creatures, the whale shark’s body appears fragmented like a toy. Turns out, this whale shark was an aquatic robot. Why did the aquarium choose to display a robot?
This aquarium in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China, reopened earlier this month after five years of renovations.
The aquarium attracted massive crowds to promote a whale shark on display. Still, due to the ban on trading endangered species, they opted to showcase a robotic version of the shark instead.
Visitors demanded refunds for their tickets, which cost approximately $38, after witnessing the robotic shark, leaving children and families disappointed.
