S.E.A Aquarium Marine Life Park

S.E.A Aquarium Marine Life Park

Marine Life Park (Chinese: 海洋生物园) is a part of Resorts World Sentosa,Sentosa, Singapore and houses the largest oceanarium in the world.^[2][3] The 8-hectare (20-acre) park houses two attractions, the S.E.A Aquarium and theAdventure Cove Waterpark.
S.E.A Aquarium, used to be the world's largest aquarium, now overtaken byChime-Long Ocean Kingdom in Hengqin, China,^[4] contains a total of 45,000,000 litres (9,900,000 imp gal; 12,000,000 US gal) of water for more than 100,000 marine animals of over 800 species.^[1] The aquarium comprises 10 zones with 49 habitats. The centerpiece of the Aquarium is the Open Ocean tank with more than 18,000,000 l (4,000,000 imp gal; 4,800,000 US gal) and 50,000 animals.^[5] It has the world's largest viewing panel, 36-metre (118 ft) wide and 8.3-metre (27 ft) tall, which is intended to give visitors the feeling of being on the ocean floor.<sup>[2]




The S.E.A Aquarium houses the world's largest collection of manta rays, including the only giant oceanic manta ray in captivity. It also showcases 24 Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins, scalloped hammerhead sharks, the Japanese spider crab, and relatively uncommonly-exhibited species such as the guitarfishand the chambered nautilus.[6]</sup>

The Biggest Aquarium

Personally, I love the fact that the whole aquarium is divided into 10 different zones with so many marine species to gawk and spot. By walking through the whole aquarium, one can really appreciate how unique the marine world can be in different parts of the world and provide a great insight into the mysterious underwater kingdom.
