Carcass of 12ft great white shark found eerily intact inside wildlife park six years after it was abandoned
The carcass of a giant great white shark was found floating in a tank filled with formaldehyde at an eerie abandoned wildlife park in Victoria, Australia. The property has now been taken over by squatters. The gloomy interiors of the run-down building at Bass, eastern Victoria, can be seen filled with litter, broken furniture, old appliances, torn wallpaper, and shattered windows. Inside a tank in the almost pitch-black shed, floats the dead five-meter shark.
Formaldehyde, the chemical the tank is filled with, is normally used to preserve dead bodies. The shark had been allegedly found in 1998 in tuna fishing nets off the South Australian coasts. The abandoned park was reportedly closed down in 2012 by the Department of Sustainability and Environment, the Daily Mail reported.
