A glimpse at the future through the magnificent bones of a giant shark skeleton

　Through this exacting process, Kamogawa Sea World managed to develop a new technology. This successful undertaking opened the door to recreating skeletons of other rare sharks and deep-sea creatures. The white bone structure of the megamouth is now on display in the Rocky World area of the aquarium. If you look carefully, you can picture the dynamic movement of the bones when the shark inhaled the plankton, opening its large throat in the deep, dark sea.

　"Looking back, we couldn't imagine we would make such a skeleton specimen when the shark was captured. But after it died, we examined it, practiced it, and all the possibilities just expanded. This project taught me that nothing is impossible as long as you don't give up. This shark now became a skeleton, and we are glad the public can be so close to one of the strangest and yet most fascinating creatures swimming in the Boso Sea," said Mr. Osawa.
