More aquarium pictures

The best exhibit at the aquarium was the shark tank!
The shark tank not only had sharks, but fish, large sea turtles, sting rays, and other sea life. We wondered how the sharks could live with other fish in the tank. One of the aquarium guides told us they feed the sharks regularly through plastic pvc pipes they put dead fish in. We asked if they have ever eaten the other fish in the tank and the guide said it usually doesn't, but they are still wild animals with their own instincts.
Another animal we were the walruses. This is Johnnie next to a walrus statue (not a real walrus).
We found out that the baby walrus and Johnnie are the same age. They both turned two in June! Here is a picture of the two babies; Johnnie was exhausted after walking through the aquarium and is sleeping for the picture.
