SharkThe Monterey Bay Aquarium's young great white shark, the only one in captivity, has started doing what they do best: killing other sharks. But they think she didn't mean it, being just an infant and all. In a spasm of honest flackery, aquarium biologist Randy Kochevar admits: "Are we keeping it here to generate more visitation? Absolutely." The surviving soupfin sharks have been, uh, moved to a safer tank.

Also: Elvis, one of the LAPD's patrol horses, has died after ten years on the job. Sgt. Gary Grubbs: "Elvis was a good horse. Nothing ever seemed to bother him."
