    You need to visit during the summer for the mermaid shows. I actually have a cousin who will be one of the mermaids this year!!

      Mermaid shows and tunnel-tanks, our country has no such thing and I can only dream to experience that sort of stuff, one-day.

    Sea dragons are amazing! Seahorses are difficult to keep in home aquariums because the current has to be perfect for them. Monterey Bay in CA bus also a great public aquarium with a kelp forest and lots of wild sea otters in the Bay!

    The fish at 5:07 is a sculpin scorpion. I have one in my saltwater tank. Mine is orange and white and it can eat fish its same size. It blends in with the rock and coral quite well. Cool fish, but venomous. I usually will feed mine live fish and live shrimp. The fish next to the flounder is a walking bat fish. I had one for several years. Really hard to come by in the aquarium trade.

    I believe in the Weather the Storm simulation, you were supposed to face the screen to feel the full effect. While you had your back turned to the screen, there was a moving image of violent waves. I've been in similar attractions and usually, it creates a mild sensation of movement.

    The Henry Doorly Zoo lets you feed the stingrays by hand. Weirdest feeling ever. The zoo also has an AMAZING aquarium. I have a video on my channel.

    It is an amazing spot, and I can't at all figure out how some of that sea life was transported there to those flippin' mountains without changing to being dead. Amazing.

  • @conniecrawford5231

    By irish folk lore, Black cats are the luckiest. You just have to shake the bad luck out of the tail everyday. Best to shake it on land of some one you do not like or just out the front door. C from the little haunted cottage in Ireland 🍀🍀🍀👻👻👻
