This week features a resident of the Monterey Bay Aquarium:

Monterey Bay Aquarium: White Shark 2006

When the white shark arrived Aug. 31, no one knew how well he'd like the million-gallon Outer Bay exhibit. But so far it looks like he likes it just fine. He's been eating a lot—and probably growing a lot. (He was 5 feet 8 inches long and weighed 104 pounds when he got here. We haven't measured him since.)
