GA Aquarium

Just last week I went to the Georgia aquarium, and I took some pics. I thought I should share with you guys.

This is a Cownose Ray at the touch pool.

I forgot what this fish was. Sorry.

This grouper just swam up to the glass. Very cool fish.

And here is one of the Whale Sharks: Alice. Sorry I couldn't get the head in.

I have a whole thing load of pictures, because of the 4 pics per post thing I can't post them all. You can check out the rest of the pics in my photo gallery, though. Thanks for looking.

I think that it is sad to keep that size of a shark in captivity.

They have 3 in a tank in China, right now they're babies, but they're going to keep them there their whole lives. They're in a tank that is almost 2 million gallons. The 4 in the GA Aquarium are better off than the 3 in China.

The size of that tank is enough to keep 6 whale sharks alive, and happy (says the guide). That's pretty big, cer. If you ever have the chance to take a trip to Georgia Northernguy, I would really recommend going to the aquarium, very big, and cool.

Thanks troy!

Here are some of my favorite pictures.

I think this was a moon jelly.

A sea nettle.

Did you know the Georgia Aquarium is the only one out of four aquariums to have a Manta Ray. Two being in Japan, and one in the bermudas. Pretty cool.

I'd like to say that is Mackerel, but maybe not.
