Osaka Aquarium

On one of my early days in Osaka we visited the Aquarium, which is supposedly the 2nd largest in the world. Tickets were abit expensive but we got a free ride on a the largest giant wheel in Japan thrown in. The Japanese seem to have a thing for ferris wheels as they are everywhere.

Outside the Aquarium
The early exhibits had mammals aswell as fish and reptiles, this Sloth just appeared out of nowhere and crawled from one side of the exhobit to the other, only got one photo as Sloths actually arent that slow.
Rather large Iguana basking on a log
Was watching the Penguins when about 4 guys came out to feed them
Fish
Octopus, I had to wait about 10 minutes to take this photo as 2 old Japanese ladies with their Nikons were taking a while.
Massive MantaRay, this thing was about 4/5m in Diameter

School of fish *hope you are enjoying my accurate descriptions*

Sea Turtle

Giant crab, it was as if I was on an episode of Deadliest Catch

The Main Ataction was this Whale Shark, you cant get a sense of scale but it was BIG

Then entered the Jelly fish exhibit, probably the better photos as the contrast in colours made them really bold.

Crazy SeaHorse

Worlds largest giant whell apparently
