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.
Blacktip Reef Shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus)
These sharks can grow up to 6 feet long.
Reticulated Whiptail Ray (Himantura australis)
Its tail can be up to three times the length of its body
Tasselled Wobbegong (Eucrossorhinus dasypogon)
The tasselled wobbegong is a bottom-dwelling carpet shark with a wide, flat body and head.
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.
