If you thought an aquarium was boring, you need to come to the Oceanarium in Lisbon. This aquarium is out of this world crazy with a super large center tank surrounding by two floors of different parts of the ocean/sea in different climates. I did get to see my penguins but there was also otters, sailfish, sharks, manta rays, and so much more.

Did you get to meet David the penguin one on one. You should have told the aquarium that you were on a special mission to meet penguins around the world and that it really would heighten your experience if you could meet David, your penguin soul mate, face to face. That would have been an AWESOME story.
ReplyDeletegreat series of photos. The "sailfish" is a ocean sunfish; true sailfish look like swordfish with a huge sail-like dorsal fin.
