Aquarium pics...(DUW)

Most zoos or aquariums with snakes tend to keep more than one species together. I always wonder why! They're the ones that are supposed to know best after all!

Yeah its in Chattanooga, Some of the snakes were housed together, I really loved the turtles and the other reptiles they had on display. Did you get to see the huge encloser with turtles, gators, and timbers in it? I think I have some pics of the aquarium, I might post them if I find them.

I loved the otters personally. Too cute. The bird area, and stingray's and shark petting tank were cool. Took a bit to coax my son into touching one.

I just don't get that about zoos!! WHY!!! It just sets such a bad example. Our reptile house at the Memphis zoo doesn't house any multiple species together. The do house a tree python and a huge tortoise together, but that's not quite as bad since they don't use the same space.

Stingrays are so squishy! I love them. :)

They are cool. That's why I wanted my son to feel them. He wanted to, but just had a hard time since his arms aren't as long as mine. They're tank was bit deep for little kids, but still pretty awesome. I had to touch the sharks too. Very neat. :nerd:

I love to look at jellyfish myself. They're just so pretty. Hey Daniel, how big is that one in the pic. That's an awesome pic. :D

Oh wow! Fantastic pics!! Jellyfish are so hypnotic.

Octopi are at least as smart as cats, I've read, they learn all kinds of stuff. I heard of a pair of them handing debris from their cage to help the workers clean it, eventually just piling it all in one easy to reach corner. "Oh, just stop, WE'll do it! Yeash." lol

Cuttlefish are highly edible for humans also. Though I have eaten my share while serving in Korea I'd rather just admire thier beauty.

Very nice pic's!

Very nice pics Daniel! :D

Sheree, that's awesome. Octopi are just facinating.. amazing how a critter that would seem so 'simple' is in fact an intelligent creature.

I have cooked squid a few times, I'm sure cuttlefish are pretty similar. I think they're tasty too. :P
