The Dallas World Aquarium

The field trip was really fun, however, I almost didn't make it as a result of my 1st period substitute teacher not letting me leave the class, causing me to miss the bus. My stepmother drove me there, and from then on, it was a blast. I thoroughly enjoyed looking at all the animals and the overall atmosphere of the aquarium. However, I felt as though we were rushed so I missed a few exhibits. I would've liked to stay longer than we did. The most interesting thing I saw was the saw fish. It just looked so different from everything else, plus it was really awesome being in the shark tunnel and have it swim overhead.




Five things I learned from this field trip include:

• The Japanese Spider Crab is dimorphic, meaning that the male and female look different

• The Matschie's Tree Kangaroo is an endangered animal

• Spotted Eagle Rays tend to stay in groups

• Sloths move so slow that algae grows on their fur, providing camouflage for it

• Capybaras are the world's largest rodents
