Swimming with sharks? No sweat! Diver Haley dives into Tropical Reef every week during her volunteer shift. Sharks are often misunderstood; they are shy and elusive animals that are critically important to our oceans. Our staff dive with sharks daily, ensuring exhibits are in tip-top shape! 🤿🦈💙

Meet the wavy turban snail! 🐌 As you can see, their shells become a mini ecosystem of organisms. They feast on kelp and algae using their radula, or a special tongue covered in tiny teeth. Find them in our newly revamped Shorebirds Habitat!

Can't see the Northern Lights? Check out the lights in our Northern Pacific Gallery. Comb jellies have eight rows of cilia, or combs, that propel them through the water, producing a flickering, rainbow-like appearance with their movements. 🌈💡🌌
