Austin Aquarium: July 26, 2017

Fox the Mermaid and Papa Tom the Merman

Yes, it's the Austin Aquarium.  But reptiles, including Iggy the Iguana, and birds are also part of the aquarium family.

Yikes!  Luckily, the megalodon shark is extinct.  Growing to an estimated length of over 50 feet (16 meters), megalodon-literally "megatooth"-resembled something out of a prehistoric nightmare and has no modern equivalents in terms of size.

Petting and feeding stingrays.  Their tails are trimmed like fingernails every three weeks or so--no danger of being stung!
