It’s moving day at the New York Aquarium. These workers are transporting sand tiger, sandbar and nurse sharks into a new permanent exhibit called “Ocean Wonders: Sharks!” “It will be a mixed species exhibit in which you’ll have large-bodied individuals and then you’ll have large schools of smaller fish. We also have a sea turtle in there. All these species found right here in New York as part of our own wildlife fauna.” The exhibit has been in the works for over a decade and was delayed many years by damage from Hurricane Sandy in 2012. But moving these animals isn’t easy. “People think it’s either like, oh, you just grab them up like you do with goldfish in a bag or it’s some sort of shark rodeo where you wrestle them in. And the truth is, it’s a very well-thought-out, precision operation.” First, the shark needs to be corralled into a sling. It sometimes takes a few tries. “Beautiful.” “You got my back, Jeff?” “Yup.” “Rope, rope.” After the shark is lifted out of the water, it’s time for a short ride to his new home. Before they join the rest of the fish, they get a checkup. “[unclear] and open the drain valve.” “Hold on.” “Hold on.” “We don’t get our hands on these sharks very often, so we want to get things like weight, we want to get length, we want to get girth. We take blood draws because we’re doing any number of assessments of the health.” “All right, drop him down.” “Down.” Finally, the ordeal is over. “Come on, big guy.” It’s time to settle in.
