Normally I wouldn't have two posts on the aquarium back to back, but we went there on Saturday and got some nice new pictures, so it seems like a sensible time to use them. Aside from its set displays of jellyfish and the like, the aquarium always has a rotating selection of animal shows and different displays from day to day. They also opened up a new display on the arctic which we hadn't seen before. But I'll start it off with a dolphin picture that should show why I love our new camera with a fast shutter.
Since 2009 was the Year of the Frog, there has been a huge amphibians display in the lower level all year which I always enjoy poking around when we visit. I've been able to get a surprisingly good number of pictures out of the exhibit... the low light being offset by the typically slow moving animals on display. Below is an axolotl which is a strange Mexican salamander.. apparently they taste like chicken.
And as proof of the ever changing displays, here's Kathryn holding a Vietnamese Stick Insect. We've passed through the tropical section a dozen times or more and never seen insect handlings before. Kathryn was very brave and had fun getting to meet this beastie up close.
