Georgia Aquarium

The following pictures are from our trip to the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. They have several different exhibits, including an open-ocean type exhibit featuring whale sharks (below).

Two Black Tipped Reef Sharks in the reef exhibit.


Another shot of the reef exhibit.


Eels that were also in the reef exhibit. These are called Carpet Eels. If something swims to close to them, they will instantly suck back into their holes and slowly come out again.


These two images are of the reef sharks. I don't know which one is which (or even if they are different). They are both young (only about 20 ft. long). We sat in the room and watched them for a long time. We could spend all day in that room if we could.
