    Here are some articles about the new Steinhart Aquarium and the California Academy of Sciences.

    Evolution of California Academy of Sciences

    One of the original scientific American aquariums, the Steinhart has had a long history in aquaculture and zoo biology. This new aquarium is rather innovative and immersive. Its African Wildlife Hall has live Black-footed Penguins. There is a domed rainforest with a 100,000 gallon Amazon River tank at the bottom. The building's roof is well vegetated. Other exhibits include a Phillipine Coral Reef, a Monterey Bay Ocean Tank, and a Swamp exhibit for alligators and such.
