I googled "Bloody Whale Shark" but didn't get any entries!Originally posted by the Bear:the aquarium in Osaka has a bloody Whale Shark in the tank!
However, there were dozens of entries for "Whale Shark"!
Here's one going for a French Kiss!
Actually, it's eating plankton! 
Pai Seh... corrupt your minds! 
Oh gosh! Look at the scale!!
Waaaah!!
"Whale sharks are huge, filter-feeding members of the family Rhicondontidae and are actually sharks. They are the largest fish in the world, even though they may seem more "whale-like" because of their size and the way they eat.
The whale shark (Rhiniodon typus) strains small crustaceans and fishes out of the water with sieves on its large gills. Some whales use similar straining methods and are considered filter-feeders as well.

probably. but price wise...yeah, it was EXPENSIVE!Originally posted by Rhonda:I think things might have changed in that nine years? Cause from what jetta wrote, it doesn't sound as if the San Diego Zoo is better than our homegrown one. 
they had a really wide range of animals there though.
and you could get real close to some animals like the koala. an arms length away
and hey, i DO like the singapore zoo!!
but i like the night safari more... -
After watching Animal Planet every weekday for the past few weeks, I'm soooo tempted to run down to the Singapore Zoo again!

San Diego zoo had the reputation in the past of being one of the best zoos in the world. Seems that good old Mandai can give it a run for its money!

mmmm. i dun really like the singapore zoo because of the mosquito but after reading what u wrote i think i like the price

San Diego Zoo is bigger than SG Zoo afterall, hence the higher price is to be expected. And it has more variety than SG, its like a stamp book collection there, everything from koalas to pandas...
And btw, we may never get to see gorillas in SG, really sad... some funky soil disease here is fatal to gorillas, and humans as well. No cure has been found yet.
SG Zoo has advantages though, much more close contact than any American zoo can ever dream of having. Elephant rides, getting close to orangs, even walk-in exhibits can never be allowed in America, apparently because zoos there are afraid of lawsuits from visitors.
Oh, and we have the night safari too... that trounces San Diego!
Would love to go to Okinawa aquarium to see the whale shark. Their gigantic fish tanks makes our sentosa underwater world look like a puddle. underwater world really needs a makeover, its not worth the admission.

been to SD zoo b4. actually we took their concept and then improved on it. to be honest it didn't impress me as much when i went there, but then I suppose it was still a very nice place to be, and they have a reputation.
heres a little quiz for everyone. can anyone name the origin of the Wgasa Bush Line's name? -
