Seeing these crabs "pose" never fails to crack me up, for some reason they remind a boyband, a band of crabs of sorts?
The Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan has a huge central tank spanning 8 storeys, filled with whale sharks and huge rays, yet along the winding way down, there are these little enclosures with some gems, that are not-to-be-missed either!
Salamander
Ducks (A reminder to self to stay afloat and keep paddling)
Squabbling Otters
Adorable Otters
Wrinkly Fish
Shiny fish
Playful Seals (I guess)
Funny Fish
This looks like a fugu (puffer fish) to me
Rather sinister octopus (I think it's the blue)
Very Entertaining Crabs
Jellyfish (more than just differences in lighting)
Creatures you wouldn't think of seeing at an Aquarium coming next!
