Aquarium

Home Up

 

Entrace to the Monterey Bay Aquarium!

Formerly Hovden Cannery!

The aquarium is still home to some of the original equipment. It was build around parts of the old factory

And apparently this man didn't want to look at the sea life, he'd rather stand here in a silly hat and sing...

Sealion! (I think.)

Swim away!

Playful sea creatures !

Little boy! Get out of that tank!

The outer bay... one section of the aquarium

Yup, those are fish.

And they are in the ceiling. Above this wall!

There is much diversity in the wildlife in the Outer Monterey Bay... and its aquarium

Little silver fishys... I should have written down names, or somethin.

Jelly Fish!!

backlight.

No, the picture is not upside down. But the jellyfish are!

Seriously, it's not a trick, they were swimming like this.

These jelly fish blend in very well with their background.

And swim right side up.

I tried and tried to take a picture of the damn turtles. Couldn't get it. So I cheated. This is a picture of a picture of a turtle. Looks real!

One of the habitats

Sea otters (I think) live here.

See, I told the truth!

There were five or six in this one environment... very playful

Pretty fishy!

And friends!

Nap time!

Lazy day!

Do I hear the music to Jaws ?

This fish was longer than my arm.

Co-habitation...

Spotted shark / fish of some kind...

blurry octopus picture

There's a bit better...

this fish is longer than I am tall

Rays!

Sea anomolies... anemenes... I can't spell or pronounce it. They are sea flowers.

Sand Rays, blend in well, look close!

More sea flowers!

Sand Dollar Colony

Big chunky tuna!
