Overview

Bring the ocean’s most iconic predator to your exhibition with this life-size animatronic great white shark. Suspended from above or wall-mounted as if swimming through the gallery, this 6-meter shark features a dynamically posed body, articulated jaw with rows of serrated teeth, and subtle gill movement that mimics breathing. The silicone skin captures the distinctive countershading — slate gray above, white below — with authentic dermal denticle texture. This animatronic shark is the perfect dramatic centerpiece for aquariums, marine museums, ocean science centers, natural history exhibitions, and shopping mall marine displays.

Key Features

  • Dynamic Suspended Pose: Engineered for ceiling suspension or wall mounting with hidden steel cable anchors — creates the illusion of a swimming shark overhead.
  • Articulated Jaw Mechanism: The iconic great white jaw extends forward and opens 90° in a slow, dramatic motion, revealing multiple rows of resin-cast serrated teeth.
  • Subtle Life Signs: Gill slits pulse with a breathing rhythm, pectoral fins have gentle flutter motion, and eyes track with a slow predatory gaze.
  • Authentic Skin Texture: Silicone skin molded with dermal denticle micro-texture and hand-painted countershading — indistinguishable from reference specimens.
  • Aquarium-Grade Engineering: All internal components are corrosion-resistant; sealed electronics rated for high-humidity marine gallery environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ceiling suspension safe in public spaces?
Yes — the 4-point suspension system uses 12mm steel cables independently rated at 2000 kg each (the shark weighs 380 kg). We provide full structural engineering documentation for your building's ceiling load assessment.
Can this be installed outdoors in a coastal environment?
With additional anti-corrosion treatment (ceramic coating on steel parts), yes. We recommend an annual inspection for coastal salt-spray installations.
Do you produce other shark species?
Yes — we manufacture life size whale model, hammerhead shark, Megalodon, whale shark, and other marine species. Contact us for a custom quote.
