Oceanarium

Product Information

Modern marine aquariums try to create natural environments. A host of marine animals swim together in the four-story cylindrical tank of the New England Aquarium in Boston, which opened in 1969. From the Oceanarium, take the boardwalk over the river or the cable cars above it to the Vasco da Gama Tower, and walk from there through Parque do Tejo to Vasco da Gama Bridge.

The "Welcome to the Museum" series is an educational delight. Information and illustrations are simply "spot-on" in accuracy and will capture the attention of readers young and old. This is an oversized book and a bit heavy. So your "littlest" reader may have difficulty holding it. But do show it to everyone and explore it's depths of delight. Submerge yourself in our newly re-themed underwater tunnel, home to stunning sharks, Carrie the loggerhead turtle and many more. Get up close to a cunning croc, mischievous otter family, mesmerizing jellyfish, colourful clownfish and not forgetting our playful colony of Humboldt penguins! The Afrykarium is the only themed oceanarium devoted solely to exhibiting the fauna of Africa and located in Wrocław, Poland. A part of the Wrocław Zoo, the idea behind the Afrykarium is to comprehensively present selected ecosystems from the continent of Africa. [4] Featuring chapters that illustrate and explain creatures under the classifications of Plankton, Cnidaria, Molluscs and Echinoderms, Arthropods, Fish, Mammals, Birds, Reptiles and Humans and the Ocean, Oceanarium is a stunning resource for home or school. With remarkable illustration that will make anyone want to dive in and learn more about the wondrous oceanic realms, this is a brilliant addition to the now extensive “Welcome to the Museum” series, which has featured the planets, plants, history and more.

The original building rises from the river, and was designed by American architect Peter Chermeyeff. It houses the main tank, which holds as much water as four Olympic-sized swimming pools and can be seen from four levels, where high-tech displays explain everything in different languages.

At the National Aquarium in Baltimore, which opened in 1981, a walkway spirals up through the center of two gigantic cylindrical tanks, the Atlantic Coral Reef and the Shark Alley, which display sharks, sawfish, and other sea creatures. I really liked that the information is presented with all the scientific names and facts about each type of animal. There are lots of details like how large a particular animal can grow, in what habitat they are found, and what their behavior and habits are like. This would be a great book to use as a reference for a school project, but it is also just fun to read! The oceans support all life on Earth as well as influencing the climate, dictating our weather patterns and providing half of the oxygen we breathe. Today, scientists know of around 230,000 species of animals and plants living in the oceans, but it’s thought that there could be as many as two million yet to be discovered.

How to Get to the Oceanarium

Dive in to a magical underwater journey and discover 1000’s of amazing creatures above and below the waves at Bournemouth Oceanarium. The over 25,000 sea creatures seem to be swimming together, but sharks are separated from smaller defenseless fish by invisible acrylic walls. There are several marine species, such as the curious round stingrays, the very rare gigantic sunfish, seahorses, otters and penguins. In an annex inaugurated in 2011 are sea turtles, and sardines have their own tank since 2017. Dieses großformatige Bilderbuch ist zwar im klassischen Sinn ein Bilderbuch, aber es ist mit Nichten nur für Kinder oder gar kleine Kinder. Eher ein Bilderbuch für große Kinder und begeisterungsfähige Erwachsene! Denn dieses Buch strotzt vor Wissen und lädt und ein die verschiedensten Tiergruppen zu erkunden. Es beginnt bei den kleinsten, dem Plankton, wird größer bei den Nesseltieren, dann in Saal 3 erkunden wir die Weichtiere und Stachelhäuter. Gefolgt von Gliederfüßlern und dann endlich die offensichtlichste Gruppe: Fische. Abgerundet mit den Säugetieren, Vögeln und Reptilien. Hinzu kommt, dass in jeder Tierart-Sektion auch ein jeweiliger Lebensraum unter die Lupe genommen wird, wie beispielsweise die Mangroven oder der Tangwald. However, one thing that I really hate in scientific books is when a scientific THEORY is presented as if it were a fact. This is so unethical, and it would be so easy to correct. If only the text said, "One theory about the origin of the universe is... etc." But they don't say that. They write as if evolutionary theories are established empirical facts that have been tested and proven. But they're not. And it is dishonest to present a theory and pretend that it is a fact. It makes me not trust anything else that the book says. If they are misrepresenting one theory, they might be doing it all over the place. How can I trust what is written in this book if they aren't careful to present the information in the correct way?
