During a research experiment a marine biologist placed a shark into a large holding tank and then released several small baitfish into the tank.

As you would expect, the shark quickly swam around the tank and

attacked and ate the smaller fish. The marine biologist then inserted a strong piece of

clear fiberglass into the tank, creating two separate partitions.

So then put the shark on one side of the fiberglass

and the new set of baitfish on the other.

Again, the shark quickly attacked.

This time, however, the shark slammed into the fiberglass divider and bounced off.

Undeterred, the shark kept repeating this behavioral every few minutes to no avail.

Meanwhile, the baitfish swam around unharmed in the second partition.

Eventually, about an hour into the experiment, the shark just gave up.

This experiment was repeated several dozen times over the next few weeks.

Each time the shark got less aggressive

and made fewer attempts to attack the baitfish.

Until eventually, the shark got tired

of hitting the fiberglass divider

and simply stopped attacking altogether.

The marine biologist then removed the fibreglass divider, but the shark didn't attack.

The shark was now trained to believe a barrier existed between it and the baitfish.

So the new baitfish swam wherever they wished, free from harm.
