The National Aquarium is OPEN. As a private nonprofit organization, we are not impacted by the government shutdown.
Animals
Whether they’re finned or scaled, deep-sea swimmers or treetop dwellers, each one of the thousands of animals at the National Aquarium has a unique story to tell.
Yellow-Headed Amazon (Amazona oratrix)
Features of this parrot are its yellow head and a red patch on each wing.
Zebra Shark (Stegostoma fasciatum)
As juveniles, zebra sharks have dark bodies with yellowish stripes. As they mature, the pattern changes to small dark spots on a grayish-tan background.
