heard they can get up to a 5,000 lbs. check out the last link with the info about half way down the page.they look like a dinosaur with fins. the only thing about the time we were there is that we missed the great white by two or three weeks. that aquarium kicks a**.

The otters always seem to be performing. IIRC, they often go insane from doing the same thing over and over and over, every day.

I have seen pics of ocean sunfish, and I believe I saw one at the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport last month. Strange looking fish for sure. I did have the privilege of walking through the shark tank (there's a glass tunnel going directly through the tank), so I was able to see various sharks up close from every angle...very cool.
