Shedd Aquarium
08-05-2008
In a recently published AZA Pig, Peccary, and Hippo TAG document it mentioned the possibility of the Shedd Aquarium considering pygmy hippos after 2010. I found a website with a summary of US aquariums and contains the following information regarding the Shedd's future...

Interesting that the Georgia Aquarium surpassed John G. Shedd in terms of "world's largest", and that they are now both planning enormous expansions. I've got them pencilled in for this summer's road trip, and will make the decision then on which is the greater establishment. Monterey Bay Aquarium is one of the best I've ever seen, and it's definitely not as large as the other two.

I'm visiting Shedd just in time! It will be interesting to see what happens to the attendance figures, after back-to-back years of 2.1 million visitors and years of incredible support from the city of Chicago. When the Oceanarium re-opens in summer 2009 there will probably be people lining up down the street to see their beluga whales, dolphins and sea otters.

LOL ... better to have a pool designed (on purpose) without a drain, than a pool with a drain that is not at the lowest point of the pool!

I'm amazed that this Oceanarium tank was designed with such a basic waterproofing system. The specification should have been much better than a paint finish with a 10 year life.

Nice link to the outstanding Shedd Aquarium, and it is going to be cool to hear about reactions from visitors on the renovated beluga, california sea lion, dolphin and sea otter pools. I wonder how much the aquarium will charge for the "wading into the water to see beluga whales" experience?

From the video, it sounds like only the belugas will be returning; the Pacific white-sided dolphins are not mentioned at all, and are only shown in a few photos.

Good point Ungulate, and I saw beluga heads popping out of the water in one of the drawings of the main pool. I loved the Shedd Aquarium when I visited last summer, and I'm thankful that the weak links (sea otter and sea lion habitats) will hopefully be greatly improved after the renovation.
