Barry (Great) White....

Perhaps bosses at a London aquarium mistook the late singer's unofficial title as 'Walrus of Love' too seriously and thought Big Barry had a talent for making sea-creatures randy.

Zorro was quite the Lothario when he was in a tank in Belgium's Sea Life aquarium so officials shipped him to the London branch to mate with lady loner Mazawabee. Despite being introduced to his new girlfriend on Valentine's Day, Zorro failed to take the hint and has merely become 'just good friends' with his new tankmate. Maybe it's because she doesn't speak Flemmish.

Now, usually the only music one associates with sharks is the famous Jaws theme tune, composed by John Williams. However, marine 'experts' have begun their attempt to get Zorro in the mood by playing him and his companion such love hits as Barry White's Never Gonna Give You Up and Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On.

I'm not making this up. Curator Paul Hale said, "Research shows that fish can appreciate different tunes and melodies so we decided to see if some good old-fashioned love songs will get them in the mood."
