    If anyone here doesn't know. L'Oceanografic's walruses will soon go to Pairi Daiza.

    I’ve been to both of these Aquariums, so I think i should comment on who I think wins in this category.

    Georgia has more species than Valencia, but all their exhibits are very average, nothing to complain about, but nothing mind-blowing. Species-wise, the highlight mammals are the Sea Otter and Beluga, but Valencia has Belugas and the other species are pretty common.

    Valencia’s exhibits are hit-and-miss, I thought the Dolphin and Beluga exhibits were pretty good, but I remember not liking the Sea Lion exhibit very much. The species highlight is pretty obvious, Valencia’s Walruses are the only place I’ve ever seen them. Their Dolphin show is much better too!

    So overall, Valencia wins this one with their Walruses, Dolphin show and interesting exhibits.
