The Aquarium at Cattolica near
Rimini has placed a ceramic presepe or nativity scene in its
shark tank for the first time this Christmas.
Large bull sharks and smaller nurse sharks were swimming
happily around the creche as it was being installed.
A three-metre long bull shark swam up to the divers while
aquarium staff tried to keep the animals at a safe distance.
The crib, a faience work by artisans Maria Cristina Sintoni
and Matilde Randi, is one of 20 nativity scenes in the
aquarium's tanks.
