10 Facts About Rosie, The Abandoned Great White Shark

Rosie, the Shark was killed after becoming caught in the Lukin family's tuna fishing nets on the coast of South Australia in 1998. Wildlife Wonderland purchased her and she was stuffed with Dacron and preserved in a formaldehyde solution in a custom-built tank. After Wildlife Wonderland closed down in 2012, Rosie was left to rot. In November 2018 a urban explorer named Luke McPherson filmed and explored the abandoned park and was shocked to find Rosie in her tank. After this the tank was vandalized and it started to leak toxic fumes. In 2019, Tom Kapitany director of Crystal World Exhibition Centre in Victoria, Australia gathered together a group and together they moved Rosie, the Shark to a new home. Rosie's tank was emptied of the toxic formaldehyde and $60,000 AUS worth of clear, odorless glycerol was put in its place. Don't forget to LIKE, COMMENT, and FOLLOW for more content like this!
