12/25は大洗水族館に行った。鹿嶋からは海沿いに車で一時間くらい行ったところにある。予想以上にそれぞれの水槽が大きくてさまざまな魚達が群れをなして泳いでいるところを見る事ができた。サメの種類がやたら豊富で、サメの卵を触らせてくれるコーナーがあったり「この水族館のサメの多くはここで孵化させたものです」などかいてあったりサメの歯がお土産物としてたくさん売られていたり。ほかの水族館でもそうなのかな？
Yesterday (Christmas Day) we went to a local (one hour north by car) aquarium. It was also a place where they breed sharks so we got to see a lot of those...
いつみてもSF的な美しさのくらげたち
The always beautiful and futuristic looking jelly fish.
天井いっぱいの大水槽では自分が海のなかに立っているような気分に
They had a lot of huge tanks with many varieties of local fish swimming around... (can you see the sharks?)
まんぼうとわたし
They also had a lot of Manbos (which my dictionary translates as Head Fish or an Ocean Sun Fish).
Anyway, The aquarium wasn't crowded at all and we had a nice relaxing time.
Although to be honest, I was a little disturbed by all the "Hmm... that looks Yummy!" comments coming from Tomo. (and they even had a sushi restaurant attached to the front that you have to walk past before you can enter).
