Penguin Tour of the Mideast, June 2006

CINCINNATI SEAFORMS

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.
