i heard that they are opening up a new tank with two whale sharks in it. i found this hard to believe, but they are supose to have 80 millon gallon tank to house them.

It is the largest aquarium in the world now and hey real darn close to me

Empty chairs at empty tables, the room silent, forlorn.

Yep, two whale sharks that are half their full size. I seen a special on TV about how they coaght them in Taiwan. It was awesome. They drew them into a giant hanger (you know like the ones they transport dolphins in but bigger) with some plankton and carried them up with a crane into this huge tank built into this ship. They had to use a net one of them to guide it into the hanger. They flew them to Atlanta in these giant aquarium cases.

They also have hammer heads and other sharks as well are numerous reef tanks.

They brought in some balooga whales from New York and I beleive Mexico City.

Can't wait to go but you know I can't stand getting stuck in the crowd.
