Okinawa’s Incredible Churaumi Aquarium
Named the Kuroshio Sea, this enormous tank at the Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa, Japan is over 30 feet deep, 110 feet wide, and nearly 90 feet long. It holds more than 8000 tons of water, equal to about three Olympic-sized swimming pools. Eighty local species of fish are on display here including manta rays, and the world’s largest fish, the whale shark.
The tank holds the record for the longest time for the huge fish in captivity and for the world’s first successful birth of a manta pup in captivity.
