The best part of the whole place was the 'petting pool.' I got to touch a horseshoe crab, sea cucumber, and various anemones. Many of them feel, surprisingly, like velvet. It was neat to watch the anemones curl themselves up when their tentacles are touched.
One of these days I will learn the secret of taking pictures of swimming fish. Until that happens, this is what I'm left with:
I LOVED the color of this fish.
These are called 'moon jellies,' I believe. Really neat jelly fish.
I have some kind of fascination with piranha--I don't know why. Their teeth are VERY scary.
This was quite a large octopus. As a Wing fan, octopi hold a special place in my heart. ;)
A seahorse. They are so neat when they swim--their back fins flutter.
MANY seahorses. I love the way they hold on to the plants with their tails.
I love seahorses! I guess you didn't pet the piranha, huh?
ReplyDeletedid you see the piranha with two heads? I love that place, could stay in there for a long time, and the petting part is so cool! I love the way the teeny rays feel-- like velvet. Glad you had a good time!
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't see the two-headed piranha! I would STILL be there watching it if I had. ;)
ReplyDeleteIf I lived there, I would have a yearly pass, for sure.
