Where can I get a large, preferrably well-preserved shark for
dissection by a high-school biology class in Los Angeles? It must be
greater than 5 feet long and preserved both internally and externally.

Thanks, myoarin. It's staring to seem like you're right. So, let me
broaden the question: if anyone can find a fishing outfit or aquarium
that has a fresh shark greater than 5-feet long available in the
greater l.a. area, i'll consider this question answered... plus a $15
tip if it works out and we get the shark.
Thanks, good luck,

You might have a better chance of getting a fresh shark by putting out
the word with sports fishing outfits.  A well-preserved shark would
probably be quite expensive  - and rare.  What about asking the ocean
aquariums?  They may have one too many or know where to get one.
