Beluga Whale Gets Press at the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut

The Sun reports…

An inquisitive beluga whale ended up with a squashed nose when he tried to get closer to visitors at his aquarium.

The curious eight-year-old, called Juno, swam straight up to the glass when he spotted people watching him from the other side.

And he caused much amusement when he pressed his entire face up to the pane, flattening his nose and chin as he struggled to get a better look.

The unusual sight was captured on camera by photographer Nicole Perkins at the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut, America.

The 30-year-old, from Groton, Connecticut, said friendly Juno is particularly popular with visitors.

Sharks Go To The ‘Sharkwash’ Around Reefs

The BBC reported that scientisits have discovered that Thresher Sharks (I am not sure if they have them at the London Aquarium but I will try to find out) off the coast of the Philippines visit a tropical seamount – or undersea mountain – where cleaner fish, which nibble off parasites and dead skin, live to get cleaned.

The sharks go to this tropical shark cleaning paradise and swim around slowly allowing their little fish friends to send them off again all sparking and new. Nice!

Visiting The London Aquarium (Part 1)

I recently visited the London Aquarium for the first time, last Saturday to be precise, as I needed to research the fish lover’s London paradise to help me gather information and take photos for this website which, I hope, will become the number one online guide to the London Aquarium from a fan’s perspective.

Maybe I am dead in the water with that idea, or may be not. ;)

Ha ha, I love my bad jokes as my lovely fiance Woo would tell you in an instant.

Ok, anyway, back to the story… so Woo and I arose earlier than normal for a Saturday and actually saw daylight. We were rushing as is par for the course as neither of us had any idea about the London Aquarium opening times and with the aim of the day being ‘go to the London Aquarium’, failure was not an option. You can see we were typically prepared.

We wandered out of our building, also home to the PGHUK London Hostel, Russian restuarant Abracadabra and the famous nightclub HEYJOCLUB, up Jermyn Street, down Piccadilly, past The Ritz – one of the best hotels in London – and on to Green Park Tube. 5 minutes later we were at Westminster, crossing Westminster bridge surrounded by famous tourist attractions; London Eye, Westminster Palace, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben. Plus side, lots to look at – downside, really annoying tourists all over the place in meltdown with the reactor of picture perfect moments and flashbacks of images from film and TV back home burning at a temperature at the core of the Sun would not be embarassed about.

Westminster Bridge is no better with the roaring traffic and pavements full of Albanians duping bored tourists for a few pounds with some trickery in the form of a game that seemed too good to be true but once you reach the south bank things are a little calmer.

Granted you may wonder why there is a McDonalds in the County Hall and why anyone would go in to the horror attraction saddled between said McDonalds and the London Aquarium when blasted by the screams of part terrified part over-excited, sugar fuelled pre-pubescent children before you can even see the source of the noise. The second question being answered by the glum looking spotty teen lazily touting for customers as “Well they wouldn’t”.

Anyway, enough of the complaints, let’s face it I had the most beautiful girl in the World on my arm and a sea’s worth of aquatic animals and, almost literally, water ahead of us.

Let’s face it the Sealife London Aquarium is not cheap. We didn’t have 2 for 1 tickets or discount vouchers with us so we had to pay something like £40 for two adult tickets.
