Class Response: Aquarium

Recently, I went on a field trip to the aquarium. On that trip, we were not able to see much, but some of what we saw included penguins, hippos, seals, and sharks. The habitat of the penguins included a small, solid stone shore, water to swim in, and a cooling shower. The cooling shower is vital to the penguins' environment because they are used to a cold environment and they were in warm weather so they used the shower to cool themselves down. In their section, there were around ten penguins because they were quite small. The hippos' environment included a piece of land and a tub of water. There were not many hippos in the location and there seemed to only be two because of the large size of the hippos. In the environment, there was also tall trees that were homes to birds. The seals' environment included a small shore and a big tub of water. There were around five seals and they each had quite a bit of swimming room. The sharks' environment was not deeply examined but what was noticed was that the sharks lived in a tank of water with quite a bit of sharks per tank. Overall, though not much was seen, the trip to the aquarium was successful.
