Monday, October 23 - Chattanooga Aquarium

Monday, October 23 - Chattanooga Aquarium
 
It’s tourist day!  Neither of us had been to the aquarium, so it was our destination.  










The Aquarium is amazing, I would love to meet the designer.  The admission price was a little steep, but I’m sure it’s expensive to maintain.  We saw the otter show, which was basically the otters looking for food, which the trainers call “enrichment.” 


The frog exhibit was pretty cool.  How does a blue frog blend in with his environment?  








These were probably the ugliest frogs I have ever seen.  I took these pictures for Jeannie - she hates even pretty frogs. 











Over one third of the frog species on the planet have disappeared.  It was alarming to read the comparison on this sign. 

This turtle was sticking his head into a hole in the rocks.  Maybe there is some “enrichment” in there. 


We spent most of our time in the “River” building, but this was in “Ocean.”  It’s a real shark cage.  I’m surprised Danny stepped into it.  You could see where it had been bent during a shark attack! 







And some random pictures.
