    Cool Churaumi Aquarium (100+ pix)

    My Boss and his wife invited me and my son Cecilio to the Churaumi Aquarium yesterday and I took a TON of photos. The first few photos are of the beaches here in Okinawa.

    Wow Eddie, lots of pictures. That was a whale shark?? Super cool considering those are open water fish. Also saw some Florida natives and your son, cute boy and the dolphins liked him too.

    Wow! Bet you had a great day with your son there, and would have been very educational.
    Only half of your pictures opened up for me for some reason, and hope l can try again later to see the 'Whale shark' photos.
    I heard of an aqurium that was the only one to house such large see creatures. That must be the one
    Thanks for sharing

    Thanks all, yup that is a tank with 3 whale sharks. One of them has 2 calves with her at the moment.

    My son was loving the dolphins! One picture they were kissing! Lol

    You are welcome Joe! There is actually an area on one side of the tank where you can walk under and the fish swim over you. The whale shark is massive up close.

    The beaches in Okinawa are beautiful. The water is full of so much marine life, exactly as the tanks there at the Aquarium.
