SINGAPORE : If you are visiting Singapore's Underwater World, you can now try your hand at feeding sharks.
A new attraction - the Sharks Nursery - aims to raise awareness about the endangered animals.
The fearsome-looking creatures have garnered a bad reputation as man-eating predators due to popular culture. But they are often the ones preyed on by humans, who hunt them for their fins.
The Sharks Nursery hopes to clear their reputation by educating the public on facts about the animals. For example, sharks are important for maintaining the ocean's ecosystem by controlling fish populations. - CNA /ls
