question about wild animal in captivity?

Question

If u have a great white shark in captivity then u put a 40 foot anaconda in the same pool with da shark. Eventhough the sea H20 is not anaconda's habitat, but it would be able to swim in just as efficient as it would be in the aquatic environment.

Will da shark be able to take a big chunk out of da anaconda or will da anaconda be able to constrict da living crap of da shark?

Would it be an interesting show if the zoo offer it? I would buy da ticket to any show like dis if it ever offer at all.

Answer 1

The anaconda would probably win but probably wouldn't get a dinner out of it.

#1 Great Whites don't survive in captivity. The one at the aquarium listed above is a small fry and will be released, while another small fry will be caught to take his place.

#2 It is hard to get Great Whites to eat in captivity. Accordingly, the shark wouldn't take any notice of the anaconda and would be blind to the danger.

#3 The anaconda would have to be provoked and/or starved in order to start aggressive behavior towards the shark and really I don't see an anaconda taking a shark down if it won't fit down it's throat. So the size of the shark has a lot to do with it.

Most likely in a situation like you callously hope to enjoy one day, nothing would come of it. You would be bored after 10 minutes of watching an anaconda swim around in confusion while the shark minded his own business in his own swimming circles. The only action you'd get is one possibly bumping into the other and quickly pulling away from the unfamiliar object.

Answer 2

To place two aggressive animals, that would NEVER encounter each other in the wild, in one tank just to see them duke it out is not only extremely inhumane, but would have the Humane Society filing a lawsuit against any animal park stupid enough to do such a thing.

If you want to make some outrageous comment like this, at least get your facts straight. The longest anaconda ever recorded was a green anaconda measuring in at almost 33 feet. It would be rare, if not impossible, to see an anaconda that is 40 feet long. Great white sharks do NOT do well in captivity, usually dying only a few weeks after being captured.

Animals are living, breathing creatures and should be respected. They have just as much a right to live on this earth, peacefully, as we humans do. What you just wrote is nothing short of what I would see out of a person who fights their pit bulls or roosters or hell, puts two male Siamese fighting fish in one bowl to see them rip each other apart. You're cruel. Simply said.

I think we should put you into a tank with a bear and see how the results turn out, huh? I'd definitely buy THAT ticket.

Answer 3

Anacondas are often found in the ocean, but the largest well-documented anaconda to date is about 33'.

Sharks are generally triggered by certain swimming patterns, which the unusual swimming pattern of the snake is unlikely to trip. Likewise, the snake's instincts are triggered by behaviors that the shark is unlikely to trip.

No zoo would ever put on a show involving injuring another animal, and most people would never pay to watch animals be tortured like that.

You'll have to wait for something like "Faces of Death, The Ocean Edition" to come out.

The only Great White Shark in captivity is at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. You can watch him swim here.... http://www.mbayaq.org/efc/efc_outerbay/outerbay_cam.asp

Anacondas are a freshwater snake... which would not be placed by a zoo in a saltwater tank. To read a review about the truly atrocious movie, Anaconda, go here .... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118615/
