A Trip to Shedd Aquarium
Which season is the most beautiful in Chicago. Most of people will choose summer. Certainty, summer also is time for most tourist in Chicago. In order not to waster such good wether, yesterday, the professor took our class went to visit the Shedd Aquarium. Before we left school, we already prepared Shedd Aquarium's map and materials. When we arrived the destination, we saw a long row in front of the Shedd Aquarium' door. we spent more than one hour to wait in line, but I thought it was worth it. I was going to see o lot of interesting and amazing animals.
First of all , I visited the exhibit was Caribbean Reef. Caribbean Reef likes a beautiful sea world. There have many different kinds of fish. When my classmates and I were watching these fish, a stingray swam around us. I found that stingray has a very interesting face. It has two small eyes and a big mouth. These make it look like a smile face to people. I waved my arm and said hello to this stingray. It still swan around with us, and like in response to us. It made me felt so amazing.
After we visited Caribbean Reef, we went to see Amazon Rising exhibit. This area introduce some information about life in the Amazon to us. From information and photos, I knew that many people's house close to rivers because it is easy to access fishing and travel. The animals and plants species also are very abundant. I saw the biggest fish as large as shark, and the smallest fish as large as tadpoles. It was very interesting. In addition, I saw the cat fish. Before I heard this name with fish, I was very curious. However, when I saw it, my curiosity was gone. Cat fish has a beard like cat. I thought that its name is in line with its image.
Finally, I visited the ocean animals exhibit. I saw jellyfish, sea horses, sea urchins, sea stars and so on. What a beautiful undersea world. These marine animals like works of art, they have different of colors and funny shape. Moreover, when they was in different environment and climate, they can change different color. I tried to take photo to record these beautiful animals, but the photo can not reflect of their beautiful. Among them some sea animals will face extinction, I hope that human can protect these rare wild animals, and give them a living space.
To sum up, this is a great trip. We had a very interesting day. I saw a lot of animals, such as stingrays, cat fish, jellyfish. sea stars and so on. However, I also have some interested animals that I did not see, such as dolphins, penguins and sharks. I hope next time I can have the opportunity to continue to learn about these animals. Through this visits, I knew more marine animals. At the same time, I realized that life is so mysterious and powerful. We should respect life.
