Part 2

A Visit to Georgia Aquarium

There are even more exhibits filled with sea creatures to explore at Georgia Aquarium today. The most terrifying animal in the sea is the shark and Georgia Aquarium has an entire exhibit dedicated to this vicious fish. In the Sharks! Predators of the Deep exhibit, visitors can see hundreds of sharks swimming together.

One of the strangest looking sharks is the hammerhead shark, which has a head shaped like a hammer with eyes on either side. The shape of the head allows this shark to make sharp turns and see things all around it. They usually hunt at the bottom of the ocean and eat squid, octopus and fish that they find there.

The most dangerous shark in the aquarium is the tiger shark. This fish is much bigger than the other sharks in the tank and is a fast and aggressive swimmer. The tiger shark will eat anything that is smaller than it is, but it has rarely eaten humans. This shark has a strong body and its color makes it difficult to see. Its long fins, powerful jaws and sharp teeth make it one of the best predators in the ocean.

The shark exhibit in the aquarium also has a cage that allows visitors to safely swim with the sharks. This is the newest addition to the aquarium and one of the most popular. People love watching the daring divers swim next to the dangerous sharks. There is also a small tank where visitors can walk in shallow water alongside rays and zebra sharks.
