The long-awaited shark exhibit at the New York Aquarium opens on June 30.
Ocean Wonders: Sharks! was announced in 2012, but Superstorm Sandy delayed construction of the 57-000-square-foot exhibit until 2014.
There will be a total of 115 species on display in the main 500,000-gallon tank, including sand tiger sharks, cownose rays, loggerhead sea turtles and thousands of types of fish.
