Brummie shark
is a vegetarian
Picky Florence shuns fish for lettuce
Going green ... Florence the nurse shark nibbles a lettuce

A SHARK called Florence living in Birmingham has given up eating fish — for veg.
She is snubbing fish and octopus at her aquarium — to get her Jaws on LETTUCE
and CUCUMBER.
The six-foot nurse shark started by pinching greens put in her tank for a turtle, then gave up fish all together.
The tale mimics veggie Lenny in cartoon film A Shark’s Tale — or the Pathetic Sharks in adult comic Viz, which are nothing like predators.
Experts at the National Sea Life Centre are now hiding fish in sticks of celery in the hope that she will eat it.
Bosses hope it is just a phase.
Aquarist Alan Kwan said: “We wouldn’t want her to be an embarrassment to the flesh-eating hammerheads in the tank.”
