NOW...

HER OFFICE... IS A MORE

THAN 250- THOUSAND

GALLON FISH TANK -- WITH

HUNDREDS OF DIFFERENT

SEA CREATURES IN IT.

29:27 - 29:38: "They )re

very special to me, you

wouldn )t think that you

would get attached to

fish, but you do

just like a dog or a

cat. They )re not my

fish, but I do come over

and I do say hi to my

fish. But they do mean a

lot."

PREPARING AND CHOPPING

me, they all come up to

the top. When I start

throwing that food in

they all go for it."

PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK HER IF

ESPECIALLY SHARKS.

SHE SAYS THE SHARKS AT

THE AQUARIUM AREN )T THE

THE REST OF THE STAFF

CAUTIOUS WHEN DEALING

WITH THEM.

GENSEN: 27:10 -27:20:"We

don )t feed our sharks by

hand, they are a wild

animal, we want to make

sure we )re

not considered food. So

we do pole feed them, we

food with us."

AFTER THEY FINISH

FEEDING THE ANIMALS FROM
