Denver Aquarium

Thirteen dollars got us into the Denver Aquarium on Sunday morn. The aquarium wasn’t huge, and not as stylin’ as the Two Oceans or uShaka, but was cool nonetheless. The biggest amazement is the Denver is no where close to the sea, which makes you wonder how they transported the fish, especially the sharks and other big ones.

You could buy sardines for $2 and feed the rays. I just wiggled my finger, and had them all over me in no time. They’re quite slimy to touch. Jellyfish are always cool. And a single skinny raggy (definitely not as big as uShaka’s), and other colourful fishies.



In the tropical rain forest room, they had a tiger, can’t remember what kind though. It was also skinny though. And they had a toucan, such memories of Froot Loops.


We walked into the next room, and low and behold, was an Orangutan with her baby. I actually dropped rocks! Then realized that it was an animatronic recreation!!


Onto the coral… well, er, you’d swear this was a box of lumo sex toys, complete with little ticklers and rubber dildos. The fossil is some crocodilian something from the crustay-shous-nous period.


This is an alligator snapping turtle – 150 pounds of hugeness equipped with 1500 pounds of bite force per square inch. And that’s my hand. In hindsight, that was a dof thing to do. And a macaw parrot, forgot about it - from the rain forest obviously.


Onto the jaw of the extinct megalodon – an ancient shark. Check the size of its teeth! Mother trucker that’s huge.
