#26: What's Happening - Christmas in the Giant Ocean Tank

Although the Aquarium is closed on Christmas Day, the fish still have visions of squid, shrimp, and krill dancing in their head. The Christmas team that make these visions come true...

    It's easy to forget that the Aq. is a 24/7 operation. Just because it's a holiday,doesn't mean the animals go home to the Bahamas, or the Amazon, etc. to visit their families. So, it's you guys who give up a day off to come to the Aq. to keep the critters, fed & happy. And you even make it into a fun time! Cheers to you all!
