# Shark Toy Tanks The Great White Pet Shark Tank is a Harmless Way to Keep an Ocean Predator at Home By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-08-13 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-shark-tank References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/5255913/the-worlds-first-pet-great-white-shark) & [greatwhitepet](http://www.greatwhitepet.com/) After watching a program on [Discovery Channel's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharkey-temple) Shark Week or even Sharknado, this harmless [pet shark tank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reef-1) is the only way you'll ever want to keep one of these fearsome predators at home. The 'Great Pet White' is a small 6" replica of the [sea predator](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaws-fragrance) and it's powered by a motor so that it moves like a real shark. The shark toy itself is made from soft polymer, so it really does look pretty realistic—thankfully on a much smaller scale. The tank is USB-powered and runs on a quiet motor, so it's not as disturbing as a noisy fish tank motor. This is one Great White that's a lot less scary and easy to care for than the real thing. Great White Pet is currently crowdfunding on [Kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/5255913/the-worlds-first-pet-great-white-shark), aiming to raise a total of £10,000. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pet Shark Tanks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced technology to create more realistic pet shark tanks that mimic the behaviors of real sharks. - **Replica Sea Predators:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create realistic replica toys of other sea predators, such as dolphins or killer whales, to provide a unique and interactive pet experience. - **Quiet Motor Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply quiet motor technology to other household devices, such as fish tanks or air purifiers, to minimize noise disturbances. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Pet Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design and manufacture innovative pet accessories that offer unique and engaging experiences for pet owners. - **Toy Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced technologies and materials to create highly realistic and interactive toy replicas of animals and creatures. - **Technology and Appliances:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore and implement quiet motor technology in various household appliances to improve user experience and reduce noise pollution. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Waterless Fish Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhu-zhu-aquarium.md) - [Stylish High-Performance Fans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-turboblade.md) - [Aquatic Shark-Inspired Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterborne-drone.md) - [Smart Home Grooming Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guliguli.md) - [Shark Film-Inspired Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaws-lego.md) - [Predator-Shaped PCs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooler-master-shark-x.md) - [Sea Creature Study Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pirate-shark-study-desk.md) - [Hassle-Free Container Drink Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automatic-drink-dispenser.md) - [Compact Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-neverchange.md)
