Why aren’t Great Whites in aquariums?

As far as I know, I’ve never heard of Great Whites being in an aquarium in the U.S.
Also, I’m too lazy to go and google it lol. So I wanna ask it on here.
Why aren’t there aquariums with Great White sharks? Are they too dangerous to hold? Possibly too big (even though the GA aquarium can hold big whale sharks)??

To go try to see them in the wild or something along those lines. I think it would be amazing if you could see them in an aquarium. I would enjoy watching them
I know they can be dangerous but when they need to clean the tank or something couldn’t they block off half of the tank, like maybe with a sheild of glass.

Two of our aquariums – Goldfish, Catfish and Cichlid


First is our 35 gallon aquarium. We have 2 Black Moors (Princess has the large tail and One Eyed Bart is the smaller one.. we rescued him after he had pop-eye and lost his eye), Emo -a small Ranchu, Binx- the black Pangasius Catfish (or Iridescent Shark Catfish) and Petey -a comet goldfish that we rescued from being a feeder. We have a 40gal whisper in tank filter, an undergravel filter with powerhead, tank heater and several bubblers. The second aquarium is a 29 gallon we set up with amazon wood, a magnum HOT filter, an undergravel with powerhead and bubblers. Living in this tank are a medium sized Blood Parrot Cichlid, a small common plecostomus and 10 Red Panda Barbs.
