Osaka Aquarium


Here is the outside of the aquarium. This place was so freaking crowed. You can see all the people standing in line for tickets. Once you finally got your tickets you then had to wait forever and push through people to see exhibit. It was claustrophobically crowded.




These crabs were awesome. They were little and cute, but they lived on the rock wall.


Above: A sloth, one of the coolest creatures ever of course!

Ok, here is the reason I went here. To see the whale shark. It was freaking awesome, but the thing moved really fast so I didn't get a good picture. The sheer size of this thing can not be seen in pictures. That's what's so impressive. Also when it opens its mouth to swallow fish it opens it so wide it looks like a crazy alien or something. It's really cool. And yes, that manta ray was just about as big. They were buddies and were swimming around the HUGE tank that took up the entire middle of the aquarium together. As you go down you get to see different creatures that live in the different levels of the water. I've never seen a tank this big or a sea creature this big. It was pretty freaking sweet.
