While at the aquarium last Wednesday, we  had a chance to observe many different species of fish, coral and other marine organisms. By going to the aquarium we had a chance to see many organisms that we would never be able to see in our local oceans. The best part of this field trip was seeing the huge tank in the middle of the building that had so many different variety's of fish from all over the world that we would never have a chance to see any where else. Another thing that fascinated me was how we could actually touch live sting rays and sharks in the stingray and shark exhibit. To me that was very interesting because I have never had the opportunity to touch an animal such as that. What was even more interesting was how the sharks felt. I kind of expected the sting rays to feel like a regular fish which was exactly how they felt, but the sharks had a unique feeling to them. Their skin felt rough and allot like that of an old carpet that has been worn down over the years.
