how many whale sharks are at the georgia aquarium 2025

The Georgia Aquarium currently has one whale shark residing there. Recently, a male whale shark named Taroko passed away in August 2025, leaving the aquarium with only one surviving whale shark named Yushan. In the past, the aquarium has housed multiple whale sharks, but recent losses have reduced their number to one. The whale sharks are kept in the Ocean Voyager exhibit, a massive 6.3 million-gallon tank built specifically for them, providing ample space and care for these gentle giants.
