    Crab-eating and long-tailed are the same species. My point was that they aren't lion-tailed

    It seems unappreciated mostly that the Indianapolis Zoo has a full aquarium as part of its facility when you consider the marine mammals, penguins, and Ocean fish and invertebrate collection combined. That species collection is kind of a mashup of SeaWorld and a SeaLife.
