 This is a baby shark in the "touch a shark" exhibit at the aquarium. He was so stressed out he was going around the pool spitting water at people and making lots of waves and showing his teeth. It was almost funny that kids were still trying to touch him in this "threatening" mode. The keeper was a bit stressed himself, trying to make sure no one accidentally got bit.

poor guy...maybe they should restrict that "touch" part-at least at home the cats can run away when the kids get a bit too boisterous

you captured him well, he looks so young, nice details and lighting handled well in his shiny whites..he water looks great!

The skin looks very soft and touchable. Never thought sharks are "touchable" pets. Nice photo with a wonderful story.

WOW..... I love this one, as the close up gives it an abstract feeling, but one can still see what it is..... Awesome, and I so enjoy your images.....

He is so stressed out that his tongue is hanging out LOL. The detail and color of his skin make the shot for me.
