Aquarium

From my sister's house, we drove to the Vancouver Aquarium. It was sea life at his best mainly because the aquarium was so close to the Pacific Ocean. The guides were informative being graduates in marine biology and could answer all our questons. The most attractive sight was watching the beluga whales swim with their babies. The babies stayed close to their mothers. One was the grandmother of a baby beluga, who it's mother had just given birth a couple of months ago. The baby didn't have a name but the aguarium gave us an opportunity to suggest names online. My sister and I came up with an inuit name and sent it to the aquariums website. We would be egible for a gift certificate to the gift shop. We were alble to see the beluga's outdoors and in. I liked the way they're shaped, swimming around their pool.
The dolphins put on a show for us and before you knew it, they were jumping ten feet in front of you; their reward was a lot of fish. One dolphin could play ball and shot it right to the trainer. The trainer's were asking the dolphin's question and they replied with a shake up their heads up and down. They would talk to their trainers, waiting for a pat on the head. Each had a name and when called, responded. The amazing move was their ability to travel upright by their tail. Once they would dive for the ball, they would remarkably appear at the opposite end of their pool; faster than the speed of light. These creatures felt at home in the water and were delighted with human contact.
My sister and I stood in front of the bat exhibit and talked about how ugly they were and how they scared us. My sister's worst nightmare would be being attacked by a bator rather a bear. But they eat insects that are a danger to plant species. That is the only good thing about them and we settled to look at the otters. They were so cute, eating with their paws and being friends side by side, (there were two in their pool). I took a picture of these creatures along with the belugas and the dolphins.
We viewed a number of frogs; very colourful and what a variety. A certain group of species reintroduce a dangerous variety of frogs that killed other frog. You think they would think befor introducin this species to the ecological habitat.
The aquarium presented us with a 4D experience. What is actually a 4D experienc is that you feel what is happening around the habitat of whale, dolphins ect. My sister, claimed that she got kicked in the back. Maybe a shark was coming up close to her. At one point bubbles floated across the theatres and we got splashed with waters when the dolphins dived into the ocean. I thought it was hillarious. I don't know how my sister felt a kick. I don't think there was anyone behind her. So now we know what a 4D experience feels like.
The different types of corals were beautiful and we saw plenty of starfish. The tiny seahorses were amazing. If I had a lot of money, i would give to the world wildlife fund but I don't, so I gave two dollars to the aquarium.
