Shark Euthanized at Pittsburgh Zoo Shark had tumor
Aug 26, 2005 9:05 am US/Eastern
Pittsburgh (AP) A shark that the Pittsburgh Zoo and P-P-G Aquarium euthanized due to illness was sick because it had a tumor on its pituitary gland.
The zoo earlier this month euthanized a blacktip reef shark after it exhibited strange, motionless behavior and tests failed to reveal what was wrong with the animal.
But a zoo spokeswoman says the shark had a tumor that wasn't caused by the aquarium's water quality or anything that the zoo did.
The aquarium suffered from a spate of shark deaths about three years ago.
Six bonnethead and two black-tip sharks died at the aquarium inOctober 2002.
Five sharks died in April and December of 2000 when an ozone machine malfunctioned and a vendor accidentally put cyanide in their tank. http://kdka.com/local/local_story_238091326.html
