Today’s wet beast is: Sand Dollar
Olive’s Wet Beast Fact: Contrary to popular belief, Sand Dollars aren’t a seashell, snail, or crustacean! They are a type of fucking Sea Urchin. Can you believe that shit?
not an actual dollar, this is actually a sea carpet (cause they look like carpets)
i can't believe this happened to me today, im going to be bragging about this for the rest of my life.
Wow!
Just some thoughts, feel free to reblog with further queries or solutions!

Slow dancing, swaying to the music…just me and my shark.
This is the funniest and most thoughtful I’ve ever seen an organization use a meme and it’s good people with good goals who don’t just want your money on top of it
For those of you who aren’t aware the Monterey Bay Aquarium is actually a really cool place!
• they are non-profit
• they have a living kelp forest!
• it focuses on local ocean wildlife
• they were the first aquarium to get a great white shark to eat and they are the only public aquarium to display a great white shark for more than sixteen days
• they have a seafood watch program where they promote sustainable seafood
• they are actively fighting against ocean pollution
So yeah support them, they’re awesome and I love them

I'm loving this new trend of people going to zoos and participating in animal enrichment. We use to observe large exotic animals for our entertainment, but the fact is that we are now trying to make ourselves equally as entertaining for them. It's interactive, completely parpicipatory and I would argue that eventually someone's gonna come up with something new enough that it expand ethologists understanding about how some animals think, problem solve, communicate and feel and I think its fantastic.
Reblogging again because I'm crying over dolphin cartwheels
This isn’t just /any/ giant aquarium, it’s the Georgia Aquarium! Please go check out their website because they actually do a lot of wonderful charitable causes regularly. You don’t have to donate or anything but go check out the website!
The Georgia Aquarium, located in Atlanta, Georgia, USA is the world’s largest aquarium with more than 8.5 million US gallons of marine and fresh water housing more than 120,000 animals of 500 different species. Through these spectacular shots, photographers David Hiepler and Fritz Brunier give us just a glimpse of what it must be like to stand in front of its Ocean Voyager exhibit’s 6.3 million gallon tank.

It is absolutely breathtaking in person.
It’s the largest in the Western Hemisphere, not the world. Singapore’s got that title now.
This place is truly worth a visit.
WAIT SINCE WHEN DID SINGAPORE HAVE A BIG AQUARIUM
