SYDNEY, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) -- An immersive blockbuster exhibition featuring sharks was unveiled in the Australian Museum in Sydney. The exhibition, which is created by Australian Museum experts, allows visitors to meet sharks' ancient ancestors, come face-to-face with an 8-meter-long Whale Shark, and uncover their extraordinary adaptations with interactive displays, touchable specimens and objects from collections.

With rising temperatures, industrial fishing and oceans choked by pollution, sharks are in great danger. The museum hopes such an exhibition would help people better understand the shark, whose ancestors date back millions of years, and increase public awareness of marine protection.
