Guys (in America), save some of your travel money. The Georgia Aquarium has tank three times bigger, with a bigger viewing window, that holds mutliple whale sharks (the size of school busses) as well as a bunch of other fish - now including tiger sharks - too. ---

The video makes it look like a crappy screen saver. I’m sure it’s pretty damn awesome in person though. I wish the Long Beach Aquarium wasn’t so expensive to visit. ---

> [@Olentzero](#): > > They have fucking _whale sharks_ in there. Holy God. The Littlest Briston was just watching an episode of _Go Diego Go!_ in which they learn all about Lucy the Whale Shark. As it ended, I fired up that video – she went nuts, happily pointing out every whale shark that entered the frame and stating every fact she had just learned about them. An awesome moment…thanks for sharing, **mhendo**. ---
