Finally, the reason why aquariums are a bit shit has been revealed.
Vox has released a video which explains why. You can watch it here or if you're short on time I'll do a cheeky little explanation below.
According to them, there's been attempts to feature the scariest creature in the ocean since the 1970s.
The problem is, nearly every single attempt to house one of them has led to the death of the shark.
But why? Well, in 1984 a report by Steinhart Aquarium put it this way: "In most cases it could be said that all these captive sharks were merely in the process of dying, with some taking longer than others."
The basic point is that Great Whites thrive in the wild. They need to swim a massive amounts of distance, which in turn allows them to breathe better.
However, there seemed to be a breakthrough in 2004 when a shark managed to survive for more than 16 days (the previous record). In fact, in survived for six months at Monterey Bay Aquarium before being released back into the wild.
However, it took a huge amount of effort and, because of that, no-one's done it since.
Earlier this week an Aussie man went viral after engaging in a tug-of-war battle with a vicious, ravenous shark, before telling the king of the ocean to 'fuck off'.
The only way the man could have got more Australian would have been if he followed it up by playing a game of knifey-spoony and downing a lager out of a shoe.
The incident came after Nicholas Wilks and his dad, David, were pulling in their fishing net off Port Pirie, South Australia.
As they pulled in the net they saw the shark tearing fish from it.
David managed to tip the shark out and continue pulling in the net, but the shark wasn't done.

"Apparently the shark hadn't had enough so he came back and when he was right by the boat, dad tried to ward him off with a swift punch to the nose", Nic told BuzzFeed.
"And so the shark didn't like that very much and went berserk and that's when he grabbed onto the net."
What ensued was a battle of man vs beast, land vs ocean - and surprisingly, in this instance, the shark did what it was told and fucked off.
The duo see sharks all the time while out fishing, but David says this is the first time in 30 years that they have experienced something like this.
I don't know about you, mate, but there's not much that would scare me more than a great white shark coming at me, looking like it was ready to tear my body in half with one of those big, white, grinning jaws they have.
I'm glad that's not happening to me any time soon, but that was an actual reality for one cameraman. Horrifying footage captured in South Africa showed a great white shark breaching with its jaws wide open.

The predator was tempted out of the sea by bait from a group of fishermen, who were filming at the time.
Half of its huge body leaps out of the water to grab at the bait and the camera comes incredibly close to the shark's mouth.
The clip was filmed in April from a boat off the coast of the Western Cape - and nobody fancied telling that thing to 'fuck off'.
