Gastón, the emblematic bull shark and one of the main attractions of the Aquarium Finisterrae in A Coruña, has died at an estimated age of 30 years, well beyond the 15-20 years typical for this species in the wild. Fran Armesto, the aquarium's technical director, confirmed that the animal showed signs of decline over the last month and was allowed to pass with dignity, avoiding any suffering. Gastón arrived at the center in February 2006 from the Brest Aquarium in France, after having compatibility issues with other sharks. During his 20 years in A Coruña, he grew to over 2.5 meters in length and weighed 120 kilograms, becoming a symbol of the city.
