It has been revealed that in the lead up to the opening of the Burj Dubai Mall, that sand tiger sharks in the 10-million-liter aquarium that the mall houses have killed at least 40 smaller and more docile reef sharks. The aquarium is home to some 33000 living specimens and had included 400 sharks, though that number is presumably now reduced to below 360. Divers are also reported to have encountered problems with the aggressive sand tigers. [Telegraph UK via News Australia]
