VISIT TO THE NEWPORT AQUARIUM 11/09

[RedDevilDon2005]

Well went to the aquarium today. Took a few pics, they had a lot of amazing species. Not as big as soon of the aquariums down south though. It's a perfect first date place, which is what today was. The place looked amazing, the Pacu were enormous, and the Shark Ray was awesome. Also does anyone know the ID of the bird? It was one of the friendliest birds I've encountered, I put my finger out and without hesitation it climbed right on. So here they are.

These pictures DO NOT do these guys justice, they were the size of basketballs.

Again, no justice, lol. This guy is like around 3.5'

MATAMATA

Here's the bird for the ID.

They were having pirates carve pumpkins in the amazon tunnel

Hope you guys enjoy

I LOVE the Newport Aquarium! You're right, it's not nearly as large as some of the other aquariums, especially down south, but its got a lot of nice exhibits just the same. I need to make a trip up there soon, I haven't been in a couple of years.
