Above the shark tank

Today was my annual volunteer meeting at the zoo. As part, there was
a behind the scenes tour of the south pacific aquarium tank. This is
a picture of the top. The windows in the water below are where
visitors normally look in. The tank is surprisingly large - it goes
way back. The keeper had lots of interesting things to tell us. Very
fun.
