Typically the death of a whale shark wouldn’t be on my top list of things to blog about but I just so happened to have visted the Georgia Aquarium twice this past week.

“Norton, 1 of the original whale sharks at the Georgia Aquarium, died early today, the aquarium’s second whale shark death in five months.

Aquarium officials said in a statement that in the last few months, Norton had stopped eating and showed erratic swimming behavior. The Georgia Aquarium hosts the only whale sharks on display outside of Asia.”
