The Magical and Amazing Sea World Beauties

The under-sea beauties

“Smell the sea and feel the sky. Let your soul and spirit fly.” — Van Morrison

On my travel to Bangkok, people recommended that sea world is a must-watch for everybody.

It represents the life in the sea and below it.

On the surface, we just see water and some fishes but there is a world below it and we must watch it.

I never expected what I was going to see and I was enchanted with it. It was full of beautiful creativity and art. I thought that I must share the pictures with you to show you the world below.

What is the sea world?

It was actually a very large and spacious aquarium that displayed many kinds of marine species. It was given light effects and whatever life is there under the sea was represented by means of certain art items that made it real life to look at and it was displayed through 4-D films & underwater experiences.

It was a surprise!

It was an expanse of everything that was real but below the sea.

Sharks

We went to the area where we took a walk in the ocean to see its life. You feel as though you are actually there. I almost felt like Alice In Wonderland going down the rabbit hole and seeing wonders of sea life that consisted of sharks, eagle rays, and different kinds of fishes.

The movement of the fish in the tunnel that is made gives you a surreal feeling.

There is a beautiful display of a famous icon from a Thai myth story. Just look at the beautiful figure. It had special light effects and was the most spectacular sight with the sharks.

Some facts about sharks may surprise you as they surprised me.

Sharks have lived in our oceans for more than 420 million years!

Their brains have a great feeling and their ability to smell. There are over 500 species of shark in the oceans

👉🏽Sharks do not have bones.

👉🏽sharks have good eyesight.

👉🏽Sharks have small black spots near the nose, eyes, and mouth. These are special electroreceptor organs.

👉🏽Their skin is like sandpaper.

👉🏽 The age of sharks is counted by the rings on their vertebrae.

Coral Reefs

Look at the rainbow. You can dive into the beautiful beaches of Thailand and believe that what you saw in underwater life is truthfully represented by the sea world. You will see hundreds of clownfish in a spectacle of shimmering colors. I saw the coral reefs while going to Phi Phi Island. You can really witness the magic at the Coral Kingdom near the island.

Coral Reefs are one of the important habitats

💠They cover less than 1% of the ocean floor,

💠Although only 1% yet 25% (that’s 1 quarter) of marine species depend on them in some way for survival.

💠The coral look like rock or plant but it is spme kind of animal family! 💠It is from the jelly fish and Sea Anemones,family.

💠 Corals are made up of millions of individual polyps. They grow one on top of the other.

💠 Each of these polyps lives within a shell but sticks out little stinging tentacles to catch plankton in the current.

💠 Coral polyps share their shell with algae which provides them with most of their food using photosynthesis. The Coral gives the algae a safe house so they exchange with each other services to survive.

💠When Corals are stressed by pollution, temperature or acidity changes, they spit out the algae from their shells. This is known as Coral bleaching 💠 The algae gives the color otherwise they would be white

💠. Coral cannot survive for long without algae.

Cardinalfish

• Each cardinalfish is unique with its own special markings and color patterns.
• The dad keeps the Newborn babies safe as they live in his mouth It is called mouthbrooding.
• The Long-spined urchins keep them protected.

Oranda Goldfish

The goldfish (Carassius auratus) is a freshwater fish in the family Cyprinida

An oranda is a breed of goldfish that his recognized by a prominent bubble-like “hood” on the head.

The headgrowth or hood is also called as the crown. This is represented through a prominent growth on the top of the head sometimes on the entire face except the mouth.

To wrap up

The sea world is amazing and extremely magical.

“That the sea is one of the most beautiful and magnificent sights in Nature, all admit.” — John Joly

If you go to Bangkok do not miss seeing this beautiful acquarium. The entire under sea world can be seen in five hours. Sharks, turtles, gold fish, coral reefs, turtles, shells and so many others under the sea. Enjoy the creativity, the ideas and the travel.

I would like to end with a beautiful quotation:

“To me, the sea is a continual miracle; The fishes that swim–the rocks–the motion of the waves–the ships, with men in them, What stranger miracles are there?” — Walt Whitman
