No, it has been proven by scientists and people that work in the aquarium in melbourne that sharks cannot be trained. They are not capable to think like other animals, for example, dogs or dolphins. Sharks are dangerous.

It is recommended that you DON'T pet a shark. Most sharks will get frightened and will start attacking. They have extremely sharp teeth (They were designed to rip through flesh). Anyways, their skin is rough like sandpaper, some even sharper. However, if they shark is only a baby, or if it is small, you could pet it. Large sharks, no way.

Absolutely not

It is possible to keep a shark in a tank or pool, but sharks need much more room than the kind of fish that people usually keep in their tanks, and they need more food as well, so they would not be that easy to keep as pets. You would be unlikely to develop a very friendly relationship with them, either. There is an early James Bond movie, "Thunderball" in which one of the wealthy criminals keeps sharks in a pool, and sometimes throws people into the pool to be eaten by his sharks.

Sharks are animals. They breathe, they reproduce, they have DNA and they can respond to their surroundings. These are the four criteria for life.

It depends on the type of shark. There are all sorts of sharks that are kept in tanks, including fresh water sharks-some of which stay very small.
