The Aquarium

Today we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.  When we got there it was otter feeding time.  We got to see otters munching on tastey sea urchins.  They dive under the water, grab their food, then swim back up and lay on their backs in the water while they eat.  When the feeding was over we went to the Ocean exibit.  There were sharks, dolphine fish, tuna, and even sardines!  Today they were feeding the sardines.  The school they were in was fourteen thousand strong.  They came swimming from the bottom of the tank to the top to where the food pellets were being thrown in.  While they were feeding several of them got seperated from the school and were picked off by the bigger fish.  Fun Fact:  The aquarium used to be a sardine canning company.  When the feeding was over we went through the rest of the aquarium.  I got to touch a flounder and a manta ray.  After the aquarium we went to a Creperie for a snack. I got a banana crepe.  It was delicious!
