Aquarium Spotlight: Monterey Bay Aquarium

When my family and I visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California, we saw a ton of really cool things!  So let's take a look at some pictures of some of these animals now in our very first....Aquarium Spotlight!  First off, the sea otters!  They were really super cute and were swimming ALL over the enclosure, as it was feeding time, and some of the zookeepers were doing a feeding demonstration with training.

 

 

 

 

 

Sea otters weren't all that they had, though!  Another thing that the Monterey Bay Aquarium had was a pretty good jellyfish exhibit.

 

 

 

They also had one of my most favorite animals, the African penguin!

 

 

They also had a few fairly large tanks too, with large schools of fish that looked super amazing and really pretty.  My mom tried to get some good shots of them, but it was dark and they didn't really come out super well.

 

 

 

 

Finally, the other main thing that I thought was worthy of mention were the sea turtles, they had some pretty cool sea turtles!

The Seals of San Diego

When we went to San Diego to visit our cousins, we also went to a place nearby in Solana Beach to see some seals!  The seals were all just kind of hanging out, and we could look down on them from above.  A lot of them were really, really cute, and some of them were even swimming around!  Most of them were just chilling on the sand, warming themselves up on the beach!  I don't think a human could EVER get that relaxed!  Enjoy these pictures taken by my mother!

Elephants Seals Near Hearst Castle

Nearby Hearst Castle, there's a beach.  You can't swim on it, though.  Not unless you weigh 2 or more tons and you are a pinniped, at least.  The whole beach is reserved for elephant seals!  If you are ever out near Hearst Castle, you definitely want to check it out!  Here are a bunch of really super cool photos that my mother took of them!
