Penguin Tour of the Mideast, June 2006


CINCINNATI SEAFORMS


At the Cincinnati Art Museum, Chihuly glass slithers from this chandelier.


The Genius of Water by August von Kreling.


A shark swims overhead from the perspective of one of the tunnels in the big tank at the Newport Aquarium in Kentucky.


Here are Adam and his reflection beneath a shark.


And another: it's coming right at Daniel!


Adam pets a horseshoe crab in the touch pool.


A ray seen through a hole in a passage under another part of the big tank.


The boys take a break in a tunnel.


Paul makes friends with a lorikeet. Unfortunately these birds often bite the hand that feeds them.


Daniel and Adam watch the otters.


Otter feeding time: one eats a fish after performing, but another must sit and stand on its haunches first.


Adam, reflected in the glass, watches the proceedings.


And this is penguin feeding time: while the Gentoo swim for their fish, the adult Kings waddle over for theirs.


A Gentoo penguin waddles in front of two King penguin babies and two adults.


Another Gentoo shows off its swimming skills in front of two indifferent Kings.


And another view of a King baby, as big as its parents but unable to swim or feed itself.
