The Osaka Aquarium

Here it is from the outside. Pretty impressive
What aquarium would be without penguins?
Also, some cute baby penguins
I think this was called a sunfish
Here's the aquarium's main attraction: a whale shark. It was contained, along with many other aquatic animals, in a large tank about 4 stories tall.
A sea turtle
These crabs found off the coast of Japan were kind of creepy, what with their long legs and dark tank and all.
And it seems they can even sit down.
Some jellyfish. This area was dark, and they just wouldn't stay still for a prolonged exposure
Another jellyfish
For some reason, anchored in the harbor was a double life-size replica of Columbus's Santa Maria... about as far from anywhere Columbus sailed as you can get. I don't know.
