Shedd Aquarium
The first field trip in college was really amazing day that I have ever had in my life. Professor took us to the most famous museum in Chicago which is Shedd Aquarium with 8,000 aquatic animals. Shedd Aquarium is one of beautiful place for everyone who the first time come to windy city always want to visit it. I and another eightteen students went to there in really sunny weather, when we got there, there was a long line of waiting people. Eventhough we had to wait for a while but we did not even notice because we were really excited. When we almost closed to the door to get inside, there was a woman with a small pot jellyfish on her hand, she told us that they are still alive and talked little bit more about how they breath, that was really interesting and it made me feel more curious about what is going on inside. I have not been there before but I bet this was going to be a really good experience for me today.
First, turtle is one of the smartest animal as I think, the way they
hide their head and body inside their hard shells when they are
attacked is really interesting. I saw a big turtle which was moving
really smooth and slowly because it seemed like an old turtle. I have
not seen this type of turtle before even in my country, we just have
like a small one. Next to that tank, there were five or six small
turtles, they swam really fast and active. People here create really good enviroment for them to live even it just a small tank but
it is good enough for those turtle and another animals. Specially,
they put ton of colorful lights to decorate and make them more
beautiful, full of life and energy.
There were so many type of fishes that I have never seen before, but
when I stopped by the big pool which have ton of fishes in, there
were two beautiful stingrays. They have a long tail and swim by their
body like a wave. They kind of stick on glass tank, sometimes they
hide their body under sand. They have a small eyes on top of their
body and they seem really active. People around tried to catch them
to take a picture but also failed because those fishes were always moving.
The Amazon forest is a big home to a thousand of animals in the world. When I moved on to the next place which is an animal Amazon room, there were four kids standing next to me and trying to find something in the small tank with a small piece of tree inside but they could not find out. When they left, I were trying to see what was of the animal and then I saw a frog laying on plants. It was tree frogs. The reason why it was so hard to see them because they has the same color with the trees and they were laying inside. Some people said that they laid their eggs on plants growing above floodwaters. That was the first time I heard about that.
