The spectacular images come to life on a six-story screen, and with a 12-channel audio system, you'll never miss a minute of the fascinating show. Current 3D films include Ocean Odyssey and Wings Over Water. Don't miss the IMAX theater when you are visiting the aquarium.
North American River Otter
Found inside Appalachian Cove Forest, the North American river otters are among the zoo's most charming residents. They're at home in the water and on land. These otters are also good swimmers and can hold their breath for up to eight minutes. In the wild, they're most active from dusk to dawn. They feast on marine animals like turtles, fish, and crabs, and may also eat aquatic plants.
Sand Tiger Sharks
Also known as grey nurse sharks, sand tiger sharks are identified by their small eyes, flattened conical noses, and spiked protruding teeth. They grow up to 10.5 feet in length and weigh as much as 350 pounds. At the aquarium, you can learn more about these sharks in the Secret Reef exhibit.
