Sharks

I really enjoyed seeing the tank with Sharks!  When we got there, a worker was finishing up a presentation.  The little bit that we heard was pretty interesting!

Dolphins and Belugas

We were able to watch a dolphin show while at Shedd.  It was pretty cool!  I enjoyed that they brought out other animals as well.  After the show, we were able to see a newborn Beluga with it's mom!  Their tank was lined with people trying to see them, so this is the only picture I was able to get.

Weird Fishes

This is a small collection of some fishes that I have categorized as weird, but this could contain SO many more pictures because in my opinion there are a whole lot of weird fishes at Shedd Aquarium. 

Colorful Fishes

Obviously there are many fishes at the Shedd Aquarium, but I prefer the colorful ones.  Here are some of my favorites!

Sea Horses, Turtles, Ducks, and Monkeys

On the second day of my trip to Chicago with my husband and friends, we went to the Shedd Aquarium.  It was my first time there and I thoroughly enjoyed it!  I really love seahorses and am so happy whenever I can see some in person.  Unfortunately, they are often housed in cylindrical aquariums that are much harder to photograph than the typical rectangular ones.  I was able to get some pictures of them though.  😊

Random

These are the rest of the pictures I took while at the Lincoln Park Zoo.  I really enjoyed seeing some animals that I rarely get to see in person!  😊

Dwarf Mongoose

I really enjoyed watching the interactions between all the dwarf mongooses.  They are so cute!  I have to admit, the reason I was nearby them for so long was because I was also watching a colony of naked mole rats that were living below the dwarf mongooses.  There was one naked mole rat in particular that caught my attention.  The poor little guy couldn't seem to make it up an incline in the colony and was essentially running in place.  It was sad and hilarious at the same time.  I took a video.  😂

Snow Monkeys

I REALLY love snow monkeys!  I think they are probably the cutest monkeys there are.  They are so fluffy!  😍  I spent a lot longer watching these guys than all the other animals we saw.
