To expand on this a bit: Monterey Bay Aquarium has successfully kept six white sharks, and none of them died in captivity. The first was a young female shark who had been caught in a fishing net, and they kept her for rehabilitation, then released her when she was ready.

All the subsequent sharks were kept for a relatively short amount of time, then released back into the wild. I don't know the details of all the sharks, but I don't think any of them were intended to be long-term display animals.

Not OP, but: I signed Dale as Chip, and then handed the book to my partner, who fortunately noticed and signed Chip as Dale.
