Okay so, on Wednesday, we went to the New England Aquarium in Boston, but I had already gone there a few months before. Anyway, we saw many marine organisms there, such as penguins, fish, sea turtles, and they swam around artificial coral, because I guess they couldn't afford any real coral.
I saw this one creature known as the Long Fin Bannerfish. It was white, with two black stripes. All that it mostly did was swim, sometimes with different fish, other times with ones of its species. There was not that much else to observe about them though.
I also some these manta rays that would swim in circles. I was able to touch some of them when they came by and I put my hand in the water. Their bodies felt slick and slippery.
Finally I saw this short film about this kid from the South Pacific who goes around many islands meeting some marine organisms. He meets this whale that he was originally scared of, but when he swam down to meet it, they became friends. It was pretty awesome.
