a simulation of conditions in the Elkorn Slough, but with real birds ... i couldnt figure out why the birds wouldnt just fly since there was no cage or case holding them down

octopus ... ooohhh ...

coral ... looking really neat and colorful ... thats what i liked about this aquarium - everything was unnaturally vivid so that visitors could see stuff clearly

penguins ... which at first looked like they were stuffed until one or two twitched :)

sea otters - i think ... they werent being too cooperative so were just lounging around

"the sea is as near as we get to another world" ... wow ... talk about philosophy :)
