Sharks are vital to ocean health, maintaining balance beneath the waves. 🌊

Despite this, shark populations have been decimated worldwide by overfishing, bycatch, and demand for their parts. Additionally, the destruction of mangroves, which many sharks use as nurseries, has affected shark reproduction, while the loss of healthy coral reefs due to pollution and climate change limits food resources for sharks.

The best way to help these important marine animals is to avoid purchasing or consuming sharks or shark products. Pay close attention to cosmetics, which may contain squalene—a compound commonly made from a shark’s liver.

let's commit to protecting sharks by making conscious choices that support their conservation! Together we can ensure a future where these magnificent creatures rebound and thrive.

How can you tell a shark’s age? 🤔

The lengths, weights and growth rates of the sand tiger sharks in our Shark Alley exhibit allow our aquarists to estimate their age. For sharks that have resided at the Aquarium for many years, veterinary staff use ultrasound to look for abnormal masses or digestive tract changes that affect nutrient uptake. 🦈

Polar bears have evolved to thrive in frigid climates. They are equipped with two layers of fur — one containing hollow hair — as well as black skin and a substantial layer of fat, all of which provide effective insulation against the cold.

To minimize heat loss, polar bears possess small ears and tails. Their large paws enable them to traverse thin ice with ease.
Their black footpads are adorned with papillae, which, in conjunction with their lengthy claws, create a crampon-like grip on the ice, facilitating confident movement.

Polar bears have long necks, which serve them well for both swimming and capturing seals through openings in the ice.

Did you know wild ponies can be seen performing a special "dance" called the parallel prance?

This cool move is how stallions show who's boss. They trot side by side, heads up high, taking fancy, high steps.

In wild pony herds, the leader isn't always the biggest and strongest. Instead, a wise, older mare often leads the way, deciding where they eat and drink, and keeping everyone safe. The strong stallion protects the herd from danger.

Wild ponies also show their feelings clearly. If a pony is angry, you'll see its ears pulled back and teeth showing. When they're happy, their ears are forward, eyes are open, and their noses are relaxed.
