Just to let everybody know, I finished Personal Progress two Sundays ago! To celebrate, we went to the Downtown Denver Aquarium. The Aquarium is an amazing place! I have always been facinated with underwater life, and loved every minute of the Aquarium! Here are pictures to tell you what we saw and did. Enjoy this very LONG post!
Here we are in front of a tank or desert fish. (You can't see the fish, but I'll just tell you what kind of fish were in the tank!)
Here are some of the desert fish that were in the tank!
They also had diamondback rattlesnakes in the desert area!
A softshell turtle. I love their long noses.
Any guesses to the name of these fish??
These are long-nosed ------somethings! I want to say eels, but that's not right! Anyway, look at all of the fish in the background!
A ray. Following are a bunch of pictures of rays (my newest fascination).
Cool, huh? I think that rays are so cool. I want to learn more about them.
This is a lobster. It was the prettiest lobster that I have ever seen!
A seahorse. There are also, some strange fish in the bottom left corner. See if you can spot them!
Look at these fish! I think that they look so funny just sitting there. I think that they look bored.
These are pot-bellied seahorses. See if you can spot the male! I'll give you a clue, male seahorses carry the babies!
Coral is so pretty, isn't it?
This fish is pretty cool-looking, isn't it? He reminds me of the first airplanes made by the Wright brothers.
I think that this starfish is pretty cool- it's so skinny!
I absolutely LOVE this octopus starfish! It's so cool!
This is cool, I've always wondered what the underside of a starfish looked like!
An albino stingray- my favorite thing at the Aquarium! It's just so AWESOME!
A rock fish, they blend in with the coral and water plants, and the smaller fish they eat swim right into their mouths! I think that these fish are really cool!
This fish had his attention totally focused on me. I thought that it was so cute, I just had to take a picture!
Sea urchins- they are so beautiful and so cool!
Sea urchins, starfish and fish! Beautiful, isn't it? I love it!
The Aquarium had little air bubbles like this underneath the tanks where you could go underneath and see all the beautiful fish and coral from below!
I think that this fish is just so BEAUTIFUL!
Some beautiful rainforest Ciclids. K.J. had some of them in his Aquarium once.
Piranhas. I wanted to get a look at their teeth, but they all kept their mouths tightly clenched.
Another Piranha.
A fish with missing scales??????
Look at all of these beautiful rainforest fish!
Upside-down jellyfish. Their mouths are on their tops, so they are often found on the bottom.
I love these invisible jellyfish!
This is a cool jellyfish- they glow in the dark!
Pretty, pretty.
A lionfish. Very cool, but one touch from their highly poisonous spines can stun a horse.
A puffer fish. I actually got to see it inflate! Sadly, this is the best picture that I got of it.
Sharks! They fascinate me! I love learning about sharks and what they do! This is a great white, but my favorite shark is the Tiger shark. The Tiger shark is the most dangerous, but it is also one of the friendliest.
They also had a tiger at the Aquarium! I love tigers. They are my favorite cats. They are so beautiful and mysterious. I have no idea why they had a tiger at the Aquarium, but it was really cool to see it!
There were also sea turtles at the Aquarium. They were cool.
The Aquarium was just a really cool place to visit! I loved every minute of it! I wish that I could share all of my pictures- especially my really cute video of an otter! Anyway, I hope that you enjoyed all the pictures and information. All in all, it was definately one of the best days in my life!
