Camden Aquarium


For a class trip my unit went to the Camden Aquarium. There were many different organisms there and many different environments. The organisms ranged from tiny fish to giant hippos, and everything in-between. Three things I learned from this trip are:

1. In the hippo’s environment there are special birds and fish who clean the hippo
2. There are penguins all over the world. The ones that we saw were from Africa.
3. Sharks range in all different sizes from under 69 lbs. to over 500 lbs.

Since we didn't have much time to explore all the exhibits there is still much to learn. Here are two things that I didn't learn at the aquarium:

1. A shark may grow over 20,000 teeth in its lifetime
2. The Lion’s Mane Jellyfish can grow up to 120 ft. long
