Sea Museum
Human have learned
many things from nature and specially from animals. Animals have taught us
hunting, caring, tricks and defending. I used to go, along with my dad, to a
zoo when I was kid. I enjoyed that a lot because of nature made me relax and
chill. lions were so strong and scary, specially whet they roared; however, fox
was my favorite one. The zoo was small and did not show sea animals. So, I was
excited when the professor announced about the Shedd Aquarium filed trip
because we don’t have that kind of museum into my country. Also, my friends had
told me a lot about it. I Knew it was going to be a good day.
I had a lot of
interests so I woke up early at the day of the trip. we supposed to leave the
college around 12 p.m. but the professor was so into the lecture and forgot the
sense of time so we arrived late. We took the red line train, I did not agree
but had to follow, to the museum campus. The museum was so big. It has two
levels basement and main. We could only access to the main one which was not as
exciting as the basement level. It was divided into seven sections; Rivers,
Islands and lakes, local Waters, Oceans, Amazon Rising, and Caribbean Reef.
Among all these section, I liked two things.
First, bullet ants
that was in amazon rising part. I have heard stories of ants and how can
destroy an entire city. Also, who has heard of king Solomon and his ant army
that had been unbelievable and scary for me. But I am sure that is totally true
after seeing that ants. These are among the biggest ants you will ever see, and
among the most powerful. To defend themselves and subdue prey, bullet ants use
a fiery sting, inflicting pain that’s been compared to a gunshot wound. They
live in some area of united states and few countries in South America. I don’t
want face them at all.
Second, the big
vessel that had animals from Caribbean Reef. That one was in the middle of the museum,
and the most exciting one for good reasons. There was a diver who dived to feed
many kinds of fish, such as sharks, squad, sea snake, turtles, and various
types of fishes. Imagine all those animals together in one place and not
hunting each other’s, it is a wild life. That means wild animals could live
together without violence. On the other hand, humans could not live together
without violence, so maybe human could learn something from these animals.
In conclusion, I hope that we have the same
museum in my country; it would be a good idea to build something like that in
my country. I really enjoyed visiting it, and I recommend everyone go to that
museum. I am so happy to go to that museum because I saw new animals such as
monkeys.
