I will be attending “blogger day” this Saturday at the Georgia Aquarium this Saturday. I’ve heard some good things about the aquarium and their “Planet Shark: Predator or Prey” exhibit, and I’m excited to finally check it out. The last time I was in Atlanta was literally one week before they opened.
I’ll have a detailed review of the exhibit online sometime next week. In the meantime, does anyone have any questions that they would like me to ask the staff at the Georgia Aquarium? Is there anything in particular you’d like me to report on? Will I see any of you there?

I just saw the French Movie “Ocean” and they face us to this question: is it a good idea to keep wild animals like even whale shark in an aquarium?
I think they visit the aquarium of Atlanta as well to make their movie…and seeing this whale shark just stucked me…even if it is a really giant aquarium…anyway what place is more safe for them?? in oceans even this whale shark can’t live peacefully anymore…it can be slaughtered by humans…
what can we think and what can we do???
Laurence, I’m actually planning a near-future blog post about the whale sharks at the Georgia Aquarium. Stay tuned.
I can tell you that the sharks I saw had plenty of room and fantastic medical care.
