Rosie (shark)

Rosie is a preserved great white shark located at Crystal World Exhibition Centre in Devon Meadows, Australia.

She was originally preserved in a glass tank of formaldehyde on display at Wildlife Wonderland in Bass, Victoria[1] which closed in 2012 due to animal welfare concerns and operating without appropriate licences.

[2] She was an urban exploration destination at the abandoned park until being recovered and transferred to the Crystal World Exhibition Centre, where she is undergoing restoration.

[2][7] In November 2018, a video released on YouTube by urban explorer Luke McPherson showed inside the decaying wildlife park and later stumbling upon the shark tank.

[11] Tom Kapitany directed the restoration efforts of Rosie at the Crystal World Exhibition Centre located at 13 Olive Road, Devon Meadows, Victoria, Australia.
