Challenges Of Living In The Ocean

 The adaptations of organisms to living in water is explored through this space.

Lifting the flaps as noted above shows how each looks out of water.

Three models, each with a person beside it to show scale of the animals, are found here. The Blue Whale is huge compared to a human, the biggest animal on the planet.

The Colossal Squid is another giant, and one that is elusive and rarely seen, deep in the depths of the oceans.

The Whale Shark is the biggest fish there is, but a gentle animal by reputation.

A video display screen shows in high speed the process of putting the blue whale skeleton at the heart of this space together.

Moving around the skeleton reinforces how big it is. And this one isn't as big as the species gets.

A display case features a model, with the skeleton partially exposed to show how much blubber is involved in the animal. I'll continue with this series after the theme day.
