The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk

We all went to the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk today. We started the day with nothing to do but after certain events unrolled we found ourselves on the road to Norwalk CT. It's about an 1 1/2 from home. All the animals were found in the Long Island Sound. Including the Sharks. Oliver was a cutie and didn't really notice the animals as much as all the noise and the lights but he'll grow in to it.
We saw a real live sea turtle, he was almost full grown and he was huge! He was probably the same size as me and he was beautiful. I've never seen a sea turtle swimming before. We saw one in the aquarium when we went to California but this guy was swimming around and it was amazing to see such a big awkward animal moving as gracefully as he did.
There were sharks, otters, harbor seals, fish (lots of fish), geckos, frogs, lobsters, rays, a touch tank, and an albino aligator. An albino aligator is probably the most rare creature we will ever see. Me and Bryan have seen 2. They can not live in the wild, they will be eaten within minutes after being born. Why? They can't camouflage. In a river that is dark green/brown that is located in a forest that is dark green/brown things that are white had better be very poisonous or they are eaten quickly.
I love aquariums and I know that all these things are swimming out there in the ocean somewhere. But somewhere is how I always intended it to be. With the emphasis in animals that swim in the parts of the ocean where we are most likely swimming I learned that we are swimming next to many things, some with very large teeth.
