amazing aquarium

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
my jaw dropped when i saw this... just speachless. but how did they get whale sharks in there? ahah
the tank must be next to the ocean if it has water continuisly pumped in and out...
 
its 6.1 million gallons & has 3 whale sharks & was told it could support 6! Do behind the scene tour to really see how big this tank really is. It is the size of Two Football fields!
A guy was on a bridge that moves the length of the aquarium & used a feeding type bowl on a long extension rod. Kinda like hand feeding certain animals. This tank is the size of the entire John G Shedd Aquarium in Chicago!
All though Huge displays like no other, I still Like The Shedd & Chatanooga Tennessee Aquarium.

This tank is extreme. Look at the whale sharks sooo hott.

The main tank called the 'Kuroshio Sea' holds 7,500-cubic meters (1,981,290 gallons) of water and features the world's second largest acrylic glass panel, measuring 8.2 meters by 22.5 meters with a thickness of 60 centimeters. Whale sharks and manta rays are kept amongst many other fish species in the main tank.

MANILA, Philippines—Plastic products and nails were found in the stomach of a dead female whale shark that fishermen found early Wednesday morning near the Manila Bay breakwater just a stone’s throw from the Manila Yacht Club.
These were the initial findings of a necropsy performed Wednesday afternoon on the whale shark (popularly known in the country as butanding), said Theresa Mundita Lim, director of the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau.
Lim said her office would conduct laboratory tests and analysis on the blood and tissue of the fish to see if it was poisoned. The results would be available in two weeks.
The whale shark (Rhincodon typus), estimated to be at least 2 years old, was 17 ½-feet (5.2 meters) long and weighed more than a ton.
Eyes gouged out
Greg Yan, information officer of the World Wide Fund for Nature-Philippines (WWF-Philippines), said his group had named the whale shark “Bulag” (blind) after discovering strange injuries to both its eyes.
“The eyes were virtually gouged out,” he told the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
