22nd Birthday! Living Planet Aquarium

For my 22nd Birthday Hutch took me to the Living Planet Aquarium followed by dinner and shopping in Salt Lake. I've wanted to go to the aquarium for quite some time now so he humored me and took me. I loved it. Not sure if he had as much as as I did but we both had a good time. There is one section there about Utah and all the fish that live in Utah and he knew a lot about all the different types and info about them. I was impressed about all the fish he knew about.
There was also different sections of the world with different of their species.
There was ocean animals such as:

• Giant Pacific Octopus
• All types of SeaHorses
• All types of Jelly Fish
• All types of Star Fish
• All types of Sharks
• Sting Rays
• Sea Turtle (rescued from gulf oil spill)
• Colorful Fish

Sensitive to Flash (oops)

Can grow to 16 ft. Some of the largest ever recorded have been up to 30 ft.

Jelly Fish

This guys was awesome. In real life you couldn't differ from him and the corral behind him. The picture made him pop out so much more than what him and his surroundings look like

He was so still. Never saw him move, not even a twitch

Sea Urchin - did not know they had eyes!!!! It even blinks! Freaked me out first time I saw this

Beautiful aquarium with gorgeous colorful saltwater fish!

Strangest starfish I ever did see

Now thats JAWS!

 There was a South American Section that had animals such as:

• Anaconda (13 feet long) - feeds on frozen guinea pigs
• Tarantulas
• All sizes/kinds of cockroaches
• Alligators
• Giant fish
• Piranhas
• Eels
• All kinds of frogs



Glittery Piranhas. Touchy! Touchy!

There was an Artic Section with penguins.
There was another section with all sorts of animals including:

• Green Tree Boa
• Weird/unusual creatures
• Glow-in-the-dark scorpions (glowed lime green)
• Hissing Cockroaches



Green Tree Boa - I want one!

 

This is what the green tree boa sees - thermal

I was very easily entertained, learned lots, and saw a lot of different types of creatures I never knew even existed. It was such a wonderful birthday. Couldn't have been happier!

<3 Him!

Yupp... I was in Heaven.
