Monterey Bay Aquarium shark handlers transferred the 4-foot, 9-inch, 67-pound juvenile male shark from a holding pen off Malibu to the Outer Bay tank. Check out the Monterey Bay Aquarium's site for more information. And go to the Outer Bay cam for a glimpse of the newcomer.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium is the first aquarium in the world to keep a white shark of any age in captivity for more than 16 days. White sharks are notorious as the "divas" of the shark world, because they're so sensitive to outside stimuli, including camera flashes, vibration, the tiniest electrical signals, and tanks that are too small or configured in a way that cramps the swimming style of the shark. If the shark isn't happy, it crashes into walls and stops eating.

Here's a photo of the new guy taken by aquarium photographer Randy Wilder.

The aquarium's first juvenile great white shark was in residence for 6 ½ months; the second, for 4 ½ months. Both were successfully returned to the wild, the first in 2005 and the second in 2007. Researchers attached pop-up satellite tags to both sharks, and documented their journeys back in the ocean. The journey of the shark released in 2007 is featured here.
