Snakes of the Tennessee Aquarium


I don't care too much for snakes, but I have to say some of them
were pretty. They had a wide variety of snakes at the aquarium.

Nemo!


It was so funny hearing all the little kids at the aquarium yelling
"Nemo!" when they saw the Clownfish. Beautiful little fish!

Giant Japanese Spider Crab


These giant Japanese Spider crabs were on display in the Boneless
Beauties exhibit at Ocean Journey. Incredible!


Click this link for more info on the Japanese Spider crab.


They're considered a delicacy in Japan. Pass the lemon butter
sauce please :0)

Flying Cat


I had to take a short break from posting aquarium pictures to
share this hilarious photo that Terry took. He took this on Friday
after I got home from having surgery. We were on the bed and
Bullet was sitting in the window until he saw his feather toy. This
is a picture of him leaping from the window sill toward the bed.
Funny stuff! Who knew cats could fly?

Jellyfish












Loved how this shot turned out! Looks ghostly.










This one reminds me of a flower.






How can something so yucky be so beautiful? :0)


Jellyfish paper weights. The aquarium had some awesome art
and glass exhibits!

Blue Water, White Death


This is the actual shark cage from the movie "Blue Water, White
Death. The 1971 film was made by Ron and Valerie Taylor who are
shark specialists. You can see the dents in the cage made by a
Great White shark. Pretty cool!


Movie poster with the cage.


Not sure what kind of shark this is. This is the best picture I
got of a shark. They were kind of elusive that day.






Shark with his mouth open. Wish it was a better picture!

Tomorrow...jelly fish.
