Living Planet Aquarium in Feb

This place is practically a zoo because of the variety of life it holds,

though it has an impressive collection of fish and sea creatures too. 

I put a picture on Instagram of Alena and jellyfish.

Unfortunately, the butterfly hallway (they call it a room, but it's more of a short hallway) was not impressive yesterday. 

The worker at the front door warned us to watch where we step and not touch the butterflies. So it was a let down when there were so few and basically no need for the warning. The worker at the exit door seemed apologetic and said the butterflies are more active and visible in the afternoon. I have had truly beautiful butterfly experiences. This was not one of them.

The idea of butterflies got us there, but other creatures were much more worth seeing. 

A sloth was awake! One of the workers fed it by hand and then I watched it crawl along upside down for a little while.

Pretty pink and so delicate. Fun to watch wave in the water.

The river giants are amazing, and truly large. 

I didn't get a picture that wasn't blurry and unfortunately I deleted them before posting here. 

It's a tank worth experiencing in person. The arapaima was particularly large and impressive.

 The birds were fun to watch too.
