KL Aquarium and Cats

KL has the most impressive and entertaining aquarium I have seen. Anyone want to pet a green lobster?

I’m really not sure why they have meerkats…

Or chameleons…

Or lizards. But they are all cute so I won’t argue. Did you know the spiky looking things are soft?!

Frogs at least are amphibious…

Then it gets better and better. I was fascinated by these tiny eels.

Some go up while others go down. Watching them was so funny and soothing at the same time.

And they had friends. The zebra stripe in the back is a big eel who is hiding his head from the camera. The plates are because they are talking about shipwrecks being habitat for sea life now.

This little guy was so beautiful! I can’t believe the concentric colors on his spots.

How does a clam have lightning going off in its flesh?

The stairs are in the left of the photo. You are coming down next to the tornado of fish into a few huge shared tanks.

Giant prehistoric looking fish

Weird white fish

3-4 foot rays coming up the side of the glass

And fish you might see snorkeling

I like trigger fish, I wish you could see its fins going wildly fast side to side

And then, you get to the tunnel!

Then the sharks and rays just glide right over your head

And weird ones you’ve never heard of

And leopard ones

With blue friends

Who come in

And snuggle for a while

Then go on their fluttering way. This was so magical to stand and watch them interact up close. They both seem rare beauties.

And then these guys just make you giggle. Who thought to cross a ray with a pig?

Just flapping along

And this guy looks pretty scary when you see his teeth from below, but I guess he doesn’t eat his tank mates.

I swear anyone with anxiety should be prescribed time here every day. The slow gliding floating movements are so calming.

And you just might see a unicorn.

And I swear who could avoid feeling a little more light hearted with these guys around.

And you could feel seen and known by this grumpy old guy.

And talk about what makes you angry in the world with this guy. I’m sure he’d agree. It isn’t a solution to problems, but it can somehow still make life better. At least for me.

When you finally bring yourself to leave the tunnel, then you get jellyfish and their easy pulsing slowness to slowly bring you back to reality gently.

And why upside down jellyfish?

Seahorses!

Camouflage

Zarah got soup with fire!

The next day we gave in to our missing of having our own animals. Noodles was the last, at 21 yo and she died in June. So it’s been 9 months. Street cats are sweet for a few pets, but we wanted more. So a Cat cafe!
