To be serious, shut your eyes to get them well adapted to the dark for the deep sea section, they had chimaeras (rabbit fish) and pinecone fish when I was there last. Alan

Had a first visit to The Deep today (pictures to follow) and can reveal that two new species will be arriving in 2013...
Species one: Amazon Turtle (no subspecies given) will be housed in an exhibit at the back of the Gift Shop which is currently being renovated for them Species two: Gentoo Penguins!  They will occupy an indoor exhibit which viewing for is located at the exit of Lagoon of Light (straight ahead as you go down the exit ramp)Overall had a really good visit. Was impressed by the standard of the collection and the facilities. Expect to return once the Penguins arrive

Wow, penguins are a surprise! Hopefully the exhibit will be a bit bigger than London Aqaurium's one. Would love to go back here again in the future.

I was told yesterday (at Sewerby Zoo) there is to be some kind of Amazon exhibit on land across the River Hull and this will include Squirrel Monkeys. Apparently the penguins have arrived and are behind the scenes.
