I think they are trying to retrace the slave routes and searching for the food that slaves thrown overboard provided.

What?

I thought that animals in zoos going in circles was a sign that they had gone crazy from being enclosed in tight spaces and without much stimulation. A big problem with big animals like elephants too.

Your obviously not familiar with Algore's and some left wing congressmans contention that the sharks in the Atlantic swim the old slave routes looking for food. Seems they believe such a massive number of slaves were thrown overboard as to cause a change in the sharks feeding areas.

I think its a bunch of CRAP!

Might explain behavior seen in cube-farm offices from time to time.

Repetitive behavior is a big problem with polar bears, too.

Well, duh! Seems pretty obvious, don't it? But, of course, I wouldn't expect the friggin' zookeeper to come that conclusion, seein' as how he has to earn a paycheck, and all.
