Wildlife Wonderland purchased her instead. Seal Rocks Sea Life Centre initially showed interest in purchasing the shark from the Lukin family, but later decided against the purchase. The great white shark was killed after becoming caught in the Lukin family's tuna fishing nets on the coast of South Australia in 1997. She was originally preserved in a glass tank of formaldehyde on display at Wildlife Wonderland in Bass, Victoria which closed in 2012 due to animal welfare concerns and operating without appropriate licences. Rosie the Shark is a preserved great white shark located at Crystal World Exhibition Centre in Devon Meadows, Australia.
