A man always tends to admire the starry sky and the deep sea. It is difficult for a mere mortal to go into space, but he can study the seabed in Virginia Beach. The city is located on the board of the ocean. So, it is evident that one of the largest aquariums is here. 

The Virginia Aquarium has 800,000 gallons of water and more than 300 species of animals. Among them are sharks, seals, turtles, jellyfish, and even one mermaid ... Probably, this is one  that sailors trapped to reefs. It was caught, and ships were hitting the rocks less often. But it is not proven.

The aquarium with marine inhabitants keeps a beautiful girl with a fishtail. She is very sociable. So, she comes to the aquarium glass, smiles, and willingly poses for the camera. Kids ... and their dads are excited!

Here are collected the inhabitants of the Atlantic Ocean, the Red Sea, and other well-known waters. The walk through the underwater tunnels excites so much. You can take an amazing photoshoot. A curious turtle or a colorful jellyfish can join you for the photo.

Seals are the cutest creatures! They are smiling and bask in the sun. Huge sea turtles, toothy sharks – we can see all of them just in the Internet pictures. And here, they are at arm’s length. 

You can look at one aquarium for eternity and watch the movement of these beautiful creatures. But let’s move on. Except for fish, birds, and mammals, there are oysters. Not one or two, but a whole reef. No, people do not offer you oysters on a dish with lemon juice and champagne. Eighteen thousand oysters were specially grown to improve water quality. They have their kingdom. Scientists have even built castles for them.

The main purpose of the aquarium is to take an important message to the people. Despite the size and number of teeth, inhabitants of the seas and oceans need our protection.
