Shedd Aquarium Trip.

Shedd Aquarium Trip

      Do you know there are over 20.000 Species of Saltwater Fish in the world and there are over 11.000 Species of Freshwater Fish!

That’s a huge number, and of course every minutes born new ones.

Having fishes around me make me feel happy. Because I think they give me positive energy. However before we went to the Aquarium I wrote some notes about the animals I want to write about. After that we took the red line and, we stopped in Roosevelt in fact, we complete our trip by walking. It takes ten minutes to arrive there. However when we arrived there the line was crazy! Too many people were waiting for their turn to get in. it took more than an hour to get into. In fact it was a long day, but I know it’s going to be fun.

       To start with, my group and I went to the first exhibit was the great lakes, ‘it was full of new kind of fishes to me, for example, yellow bass, grass pickerel. However I will talk about grass picker, the regular size for grass pickerel is 4,3 lb. it has shaped body and light colored striped, furthermore this kind of animal is distributed in Missouri. These kinds of fishes are most common in clear water. In fact the grass picker has many types such as, redfin pickerel, it’s the same look of the grass pickerel but the color is red.

      Secondly, we sit to take some rest after that my friends and I went to the second exhibit was the ocean. When we went there I saw an octopus, it was my first time to see an octopus. However the octopus has eight arms. Also the octopus is skilled to deal with difficult and flexible behavior. We can find them anywhere in the ocean. In fact, the word ‘octopus’ is taken from a Greek word called “eight” and “foot”.

     After that, we went to the Amazon rising. I saw a small black monkey and a turtle. I’m going to talk about the turtle in the amazon. In the earth there is around 260 species of turtles. However many of turtles are kept like a pet In some families. Furthermore the female size range is 20-25 pound and the males 25,60 pound. They can be founded in the amazon rainforest.

      Finally, when I was walking I saw crowded and when I went there, I saw something crazy and it was the most shocking thing I’ve ever seen. The alligator snapping turtle, t’s the heaviest freshwater turtle in the world! It weights 403 lb.  First found was in Kansas in 1937. Furthermore they eat anything they can catch. Like fishes and small turtles.

     In sum, I learned from the experience is fishes are nice animals and there is different kind of them. furthermore  I was looking to the sharks, I realized how big and scary they are.  Although I was fasting and thirsty but overall I enjoyed my time there. i learned new things such as, specific kind of fishes and where I can find them.
