Primorye Oceanarium on the Russian Island.

From the main hall we go to the passage with the inscription "Beginning of the exposition". Here you have to go down the escalator to the floor below and we get to the room where a roller on the semicircular wall is broadcast about the very beginning of the formation of the Earth, like the planets. Due to the semicircular wall, the effect of presence in the film is created. Only some naughty children of visitors climb directly to the screen and no one stops them

Further the exhibition begins from the moment of occurrence of a life on the Earth. These are all artificial objects, but they clearly show what life was like in primitive forms, millions of years ago.

From primitive bacteria we turn to mock-ups of ancient animal species that existed several million years ago

Ophthalmosaurus:

And there is also a stand " The extinct because of people". Pictures are special: you look at the same angle - there is an animal, you look under the other - no. Very well done, I believe!

And now, we turn to aquariums with live fish.

Catfish

Luce:

Sturgeon:

Maybe this is a little shark?

Fish-dog:

Very interesting fishes are represented in the hall called " masters of masking"

Some of them hid so well that we did not see them at all. Although, maybe they were not there))

And in the aquarium there are sea seals ! They swim in the pool behind a huge glass wall. They also show interest in visitors, swim to them, somersault in the water and swim back.

Go ahead. In the next room, a huge octopus and Neptune himself are looking at us from the wall!

There is also a small pool with small marine animals:

There is a separate room where various kinds of jellyfish swim in aquariums!

And in one of the aquariums there is a real octopus:

Continue to stroll through the oceanarium and in one of the halls we get to the real corner of the tropical forest . Flowers blossom around, trees and other tropical plants grow. And, it is not always clear where artificial, and where not. Many living plants and here for them a tropical climate is simulated - heat and high humidity.

There is even a small waterfall:

And on one wall, with the help of falling water, an imitation of a tropical rainfall was created! The downpour is accompanied by the sound of thunder.

In the same room there are aquariums with tropical fish.

And the real piranhas!

We leave the "rainforest" and get into the glass tunnel , which allows you to feel that you are at the bottom of the ocean or inside a large aquarium. Here behind the glass live corals, flocks of flocks of fish. In general, an amazing underwater world in all its glory!

Corals:

And here is another hall with an aquarium on the whole wall. There are also interactive information stands.

It's time to leave. And so passed there more than 2 hours. I hope you liked it!
