Forget Food on a Stick - Check out the Shark Tank at the LA County Fair
Phillip Peters has brought his 5,000 gallon shark tank trailer to the LA County Fair, where it's on display -- with him in it -- every day for the run of the fair. He tells Ashley Bailey why he does it, where the sharks come from, where he takes them, and which shark is his favorite.
Shark handler Phillip Peters travels around the country with live sharks, and for your amusement, dives into his 5,000 gallon salt-water tank WITH HIS SHARKS for daily performances at the LA County Fair through September.
