Aquarium Friday 🦑, and I got to see 3 of my favorite aquatic noodles — Wilson the anaconda, and Thomas and Marie the moray eels. (Only one video per post here, so Thomas and Marie will be below 😉)

Aquarium Friday 🦑 New addition to the elasmobranchs — fiddler rays! A small bright spot in an otherwise chilly and blustery and news-heavy week. Stay warm 🌤️

Hurricane #Melissa hit Jamaica's southwest coast yesterday with 185 mph winds. The Category 5 storm is the most powerful to hit #Jamaica since record-keeping began, undergoing rapid intensification fueled by warmer waters before landfall.

And sharks and rays of all sizes were cruising around the touch tank together! (4/4)

… baby jellies…
