Atlantis Aquarium in Riverhead, Long Island – Part Deux

Here’s a continuation of last week’s offering for Camera Critters. First up is a very brief video of a tank of anemones, with the star attraction, “Nemo”. I don’t think Pixar realized what they’d be doing for the clown fish industry when they released Finding Nemo.

Next, we’ll attend one of the Daily Aquatic Events – a show starring some very smart, funny and endearing California sea lions.

 
This fella was only too happy to show us what he can do.  There was a steady supply of fishy treats for his trouble, which may have something to do with his motivation!
  
We wandered quite a bit before FINALLY finding the outdoor river otter environment.  Unfortunately, the otters are very recent rescues, and they were extremely shy and we never actually saw them!  All I got was this photo of the sign, telling us how shy they are.  Their names are PB and J!
 

I think that was pretty much all the usable footage I got from the Atlantis Aquarium.  As mentioned last week, we had a very pleasant afternoon there, and Niece No. 5 (age three and a half) enjoyed it.  Perhaps we’ll return next time I visit Long Island.

    Love sea lions. They can be very comical in their natural environment. I’ve never seen any in captivity that I recall.

    Seal shows are always so entertaining. They learn some pretty funny tricks.

    Great photos, Tink. That shot with the fish flying through the air towards the sea lion’s mouth is awesome!

    Loved your video, too! =)
