Manila Ocean Park series

That's it folks. I hope you enjoyed this mini series of Manila Ocean Park! There's so much beauty out there, and however you feel about zoos or aquariums, I do hope we all never lose sight of that fact. Have a great Sunday!

Waterworld

I wouldn't mind having an aquarium like this at home. Looking at fish is so therapeutic. Alas I only have a mini aquarium, with a goldfish named Henry. I plan to move him to a bigger home with more fish friends.

Some kids get terrified when they see fish, especially sharks and stingrays, up close. Not this cute kid right here!

Grandaddy

Here is a lionfish. According to my ehem, research, the lionfish is one of the most venomous fish in the entire world. While their long dorsal fins are venomous, they are not really life-threatening to humans, although being stung by one can be extremely painful and may cause headaches, vomiting and breathing difficulties.

There's something so... grandfatherly about them, no? Their sad eyes and droopy jaws. They look ancient, like a creature from another time.

Manila Ocean Park series part 2

Buhay na Karagatan means the "living seas." Below are some of the creatures you'll find in the park.

A sea slug of some sort, methinks. I didn't catch the name! Can anyone tell me what this is?

A spotted stingray. Yes, I am just making up the names as I go along.

Clownfish. This one I'm pretty sure I got the name right. It's also otherwise known as "Nemo!"

Tomorrow, my favorite creature!
