The New York Aquarium at Coney Island :
On Nov. 8th, 2002, we visited the NY Aquarium with a small group of
people from the AMNH. We were treated to a fantastic
behind-the-scenes tour by the head animal curator. We met with
the trainers, saw some of the huge water filtration equipment, and
heard lots of great stories about the animals and the exhibits.
It's a pretty long train ride from where we live, being all the
way at the bottom of Brooklyn, but it was well worth it.

organized the trip for us)
Presley the dolphin
Our reaction to Presley's acrobatics (someone
asked how they teach the dolphins to do flips... the trainer kindly
showed us, and got soaked in the process!)
More photos are on the way!
