In 2012, a dead great white shark was found floating in formaldehyde at a closed and abandoned wildlife park in Melbourne, Australia.

Great White Shark at Melbourne Abandoned Zoo

According to VICE, the shark was caught off the coast of South Australia in 1998. It was then preserved for display at a Victorian ecotourism centre, and when that facility closed, the shark was relocated to a wildlife park that was said to be "dedicated to the conservation of megafauna." However, the site was eventually closed in 2012, and the creatures were gradually forgotten, until now.
