Last part of the Aquarium trilogy.
Lion Fish
Close-up on a sea dragon.
I call it the minesweeper crab – it digs up the sand around it to find food.
Leafy Sea Dragon
This toad is so fat!
I hope you have enjoyed this series from the Aquarium!
Continuing from Part I of the photo series taken from the New England Aquarium, this time onto different animal types.
I was able to join the trainings sessions for the Atlantic Harbor Seals.
The trainer performing a visual inspection.
*Shame*
Tea-time at 3pm. They were so coorperative when hungry!
High five with a child. She was startled that the seal could leap so high out of the water!
Greeting the visitors.
A small eel-like animal that I stumbled upon.
This fish has suction cups on its belly and can stick to the glass vertically.
Starfish in the wave pool.
Whale watching with Captain Debb, perfect conditions with blue skies and calm sea conditions.
Passenger spotted a whale in the distance.
Close encounter with a Minke Whale, breaking the surface for fresh air.
A couple weeks ago I visited Boston for a few days and spent some time in the Aquarium.
This time I was primarily working with the seal trainers and focusing on the lesser known animals in the Aquarium.
Myrtle, the green sea turtle, swimming in the Giant Ocean Tank. She is at least 70 years old and weights over 500lbs.
The Sand Tiger Shark, never in a hurry.
A Cow Nose Ray swimming by.
This is a very strange looking fish. Apparently poisionous.
Small shark.
An amphibious fish living with the green Anaconda.
It is so slimey…
A shrimp in the Pacific Reef tank.
This was a really neat jellyfish, it is about the size of your finger nail but has little lights moving in its bloodstream.
Norther Fur Seals in the new Marine Mammal Center.
Seal scratching himself.
A child picked from the audience to interact with the seals.
More to come next week!
Found this interesting bug while out in the backyard today. It seems to have characteristics from a few different species, maybe they are conspiring against us with a super advanced species!
It was trying very hard to cling onto the fence but eventually the wind swept it away.
