Tennessee Aquarium

Sunday afternoon, it was pouring rain in Chattanooga, so Wade and I went on a fun date to the Aquarium. Here are a few of my favorite little creatures we saw:

This is just wrong... What kind of self image is this fish going to have, being called a Blotched Chub all its life?

This was a cool jellyfish... And I think this picture looks like it belongs in a science textbook, but maybe I'm biased :).

Some kind of shark... I guess that's not a hammerhead, but it has kindof a weird eye/head structure.

A ginormous sturgeon... They had a LOT of sturgeon. What the heck is a sturgeon?

Adorable little tree frog... Look at his cute little arms and legs all tucked underneath him :).

Loved the otters... It was really hard to get a picture of them because they jumped in and out of the water so fast! But somehow I managed to snap this little guy in the midst of play.




And here's a little video of a turtle swimming... He was so cute too.

We also saw penguins, seahorses, butterflies, stingrays, alligators, an octopus, and a whole lot more. It is really, really amazing how creative God is and how big - that He designed and created all these different animals to be suited to their environment and to interact with each other, and that He sustains them every moment.
