Unplanned gala @ Manila Ocean Park


This is our first time at Manila Ocean Park, and we're so excited to see all this wonderful creatures.



 Agos is one of the attractions here at Manila Ocean Park where you can see different kinds of sea creatures.

 This REALLY huge fish is called Giant Arapaima. This is one of the largest freshwater fish in the world. This fish also has ability to breathe air from the surface due to the lung-like lining of its throat.

 As I walk through the trail, I can't help but admire these amazing 
vines hanging by the ceiling.

 This silky smooth fish is called Black Ghost Knife Fish. These are nocturnal fish. They are also a weakly electric and can use an electric organ and receptors distributed over the length of their body in order to locate their prey.

 School of fish


 Have you met Nemo and Dory?

This creepy looking fish is called Reef Stonefish. The Guinness Book of record lists it as the most venomous fish in the world. Its venom causes severe pain with possible shock, paralysis and tissue death and sometimes even suffocation or heart attack, depending on the depth of the penetration.

I wish I could take home this cute star fish! You can touch them but you're not allowed to lift them.

Buhay na Karagatan is a 25-meter-long walk way tunnel. Its like you're walking under the ocean without getting wet at all. : ) 

Doctor Fish or Nibble Fish consumes dead skin cells directly off the bodies of people. It is also free of pain and does not hurt. BTW those are not my legs! : )

Lots of jellyfish! As you can see, they put the jellyfish in a large cylinder aquarium and 
a lighting effect that adds a really cool dimension to it.. It's like they're dancing!

Join me on my next adventure. Until next time!
