BEIJING : An aquarium in southern China has come under scrutiny for showcasing a robotic whale shark instead of a live one, igniting passionate debates around animal welfare and consumer rights.
Some visitors expressed dissatisfaction and sought compensation on the aquarium’s page on Dazhong Dianping, the restaurant and review service operated by Meituan. A self-proclaimed cyberpunk enthusiast remarked on Xiaohongshu: “It’s a wonderful alternative to showcase large marine creatures without imprisoning them in a tank. Rather than obscuring the whale shark’s true identity from visitors, the aquarium should embrace this opportunity to educate the public on the importance of animal protection.”
Developed through a collaboration between Haichang Ocean Park Holdings Ltd and the 111 Factory under the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, the Shanghai robot measures 4.7 metres in length, weighs 430kg, and is designed to emulate the movements of real whale sharks when operated by humans.
Although the aquarium may provide optimal water quality and temperature control, the limited space is insufficient for their needs.
