The spiny dogfish shark is a predator, but the octopus is not its usual prey. If it was, the
aquarium staff wouldn’t have put them in the same _Aquarium_.But then, dead_sharks_
started to appear at the bottom of the tank. The _staffs_ were worried. But then they
discovered that the _octopus_ was attacking the _sharks_. Nobody had expected this to
happen. The octopus was more dangerous than the sharks.
