I finally decided to create an account! Hello everyone! I have been a public (and home) aquarium fanatic for as long as I can remember, and I feel honored to join this community! I thought there couldn’t be a better way to start off than to share some fascinating (albeit somewhat sad) footage I...

Good evening everybody, I've noticed that manatees are only kept in two or three zoos/aquariums in the US outside of Florida. Is there a particular reason why so many US zoos and aquariums don't have manatees? Is it because of cost, laws, or something else? Thank you & excited to see the responses!

I don't know if there is already a thread for this, but what is the best African zoo (and or aquarium)? When I look in the gallery there seems to be very bad ones but also of average quality, like in Egypt. So.... which one is the best?

Hello Guys i want to ask you what is your Favorite Zoo Aquarium. I have only included Zoo Aquariums that i have Seen. By the way my Favorite Zoo Aquarium is the Wilhelma Aquarium/Terrarium because it has a little bit of everything, there are sharks, jellyfish, Octopus, crocodiles and many...

This is gonna be a little journey for me, as I want to chronicle and review every YouTuber who has built a zoo, petting zoo, animal farm, drive-thru safari, aquarium, etc., and has uploaded the building process onto YouTube. Some rules for myself: 1. It does not matter how big the channel is...

Hi, so I am very unsure about their hammerheads. I saw something online that georgia aquarium had hammerheads, and one died from crashing into a rock while trying to hunt. And the photo on their ocean voyager exhibit on the website shows a hammerhead in the pic. But they don't have it listed in...
