The three male and three female sharks will go into the 6.3 million gallon habitat alongside the whale sharks and manta ray. The new sharks range from five to more than eight feet in length and weigh between 56 and 237 pounds.

"These sharks are big and display a mouthful of sharp teeth, so we know that they will become a new guest favorite," said Mike Leven, CEO of Georgia Aquarium in a release.

"Even though they are scary looking to some, we are excited to introduce them to our guests as the docile species they are, and spread the word on their declining numbers due to overfishing."
