The Big Tank at The Georgia Aquarium
Loading...
Uploaded by dasfritz on Jan 6, 2008
This exhibit was specially designed to house whale sharks, the largest fish species in the world. Schools of predatory trevally jacks, squadrons of small and large stingrays, enormous goliath grouper, largetooth sawfish and hammerhead sharks all ply the waters of this captive ocean habitat containing more than six million gallons of saltwater. The big tank is 4,574 square feet of viewing windows, a 100-foot-long underwater tunnel, 185 tons of acrylic windows and the viewing window is 23 feet tall by 61 feet wide by 2 feet thick.

@shark723patrick
It's called a tasseled wobbegong. It is a bottom-dwelling shark found in the shallow coastal areas and reefs in parts of Australia, New Guinea and Indonesia.It has a distinctive shape with a flattened body and head and broad pectoral and pelvic fins. A fringe of branching skin flaps run around its mouth to obscure the outline of its head. It can even change color, over several days time, to adjust to environmental conditions.
