About this audio guide
This guide to the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay tells the story of a great hammerhead shark, one of only three known living in captivity worldwide, who arrived here as a rescued juvenile off Florida in 2001 and became one of the aquarium's star residents. It follows her from quarantine into the 1.3-million-gallon shipwreck tank in front of you, then to an ordinary Thursday night in December 2004 when keepers noticed her swimming strangely. Stand close to the glass and look for the spot where she used to swim.
