So I went to the SEA Aquarium in Resort World Sentosa during one of my leave days. It was big, taking around 2 hours to complete the tour. It was pretty good, except for the fact that they had dolphins. Dolphins that were captured in the wild. While the tank holding the dolphins were pretty big, dolphins are meant to be in the wild. It was heartbreaking for me to see the wild dolphins swimming in the confined space, especially since I have seen wild dolphins in Monkey Mia in Western Australia. They could remove the dolphins from the place and it will not affect anything. I really do not understand the logic of having dolphins in there.
Anyway, the place was not that crowded, just tourists who are more bothered to take pictures instead of trying to find out the marine life behind the glass. I tried to read and discovered many interesting information. For example, the deep sea male angler fish are much smaller and bite on to the larger females, like parasites. The male’s bloodstream fuses with the female’s allowing the transfer of sperm from the male to the female. Several males may live co-joined to the same female, losing every part of their body except their reproductive organs, and may be totally dependent on the female for nourishment. Pretty neat eh?
Well, I did take some pictures after reading.
