AUBURN HILLS, MI — The first full week of the new year was shark week at Great Lakes Crossing Outlets in Auburn Hills as half a dozen sharks were released into the soon-to-be-open Sea Life Michigan aquarium Thursday, Jan. 8.
Sea Life Michigan welcomed six small sharks — one nurse shark, two bonnethead sharks, and three blacknose sharks — into its waters in preparation for its upcoming grand opening on Thursday, Jan. 29.
The blacknose and bonnethead sharks were put into the aquarium’s ocean tank, which is 3.5 meters deep. They joined dozens of tropical marine fish (snappers, tangs, grunts, trigger fish, angel fish, and butterfly fish), a moray eel, stingrays and cownose rays. The nurse shark was put into a different tank.
