    Sea World-Behind the scenes PICS

    Well while Anthony Calfo was down here were priviliged to get a behind the scenes tour of Sea World thought you guys would enjoy some of these pics.

    Here are some pics of their Quarantine building


    tubs on the left are for small fish and corals, and the large vats on the right are for bigger animals such as sharks turtles and larger fish


    Here you can see their charts which keeps track of how well the animal(s) are doing, how long they have been quarantined etc etc. also not the blowers mounted above for circulation and you can see that the pipes are labeled air, good SW, bad SW, etc


    Mega-mountain skimmers

    a cute little guy on his way to recovery


    This one really pulled on my heartstrings, both of these manatees are wounded from boating accidents, heres a closeup



    This is where all the food is prepped for feeding

    large walk in cooler, and I didnt get a picture of it but they have an even larger walk in freezer

    And lastly these two wild animals some how escaped.

    Hi Rocky,

    Seems like you enjoyed yourself there Very impressive set up they got there and I don't understand how you did manage to escape ;)
    Thanks for sharing those marvelous pics.
    PS. Those wounds on the manatees look horribile I strongly believe that boats with outboard motors should be prohibited from their habitats but...they are everywhere.
    Kind regards,

    Gene.

    Thumbs up

    Great fun Hey Rocky! I took one of those trips Back in the early '90's at Sea World San Deigo and learned a lot. I'm sure things have been updated since then but I know I had a blast then. It's interesting how much research they actually do that most people don't know about. Later

    Nice!

    Its good that seaworld takes care of wounded animals, it shows that they arent just in it for the money.....

    If anyone is ever in france I would strongly reccomend a visit to the Monaco oceanographic museum.
    They have some amazing reef tanks.
    They said aquariums would be relaxing......(yeah right)

    Mine too. Actually Anthony signed them all, and then gave them the registration number.
    Does yours also read:
    With kind regards, Anthony Calfo? and then the 4 digit number?
    And after registering the copy at their webpage he sent you an e-mail thanking you? ;)
    Anthony is a hoot, I have to meet him.
