Cold, wet vertebrates

On this Sunday past, Lily and I went to the National Aquarium, in downtown DC, in the basement of the Department of Commerce. Most people, when they hear "National Aquarium," think of the much bigger, much better facility in Baltimore's inner harbor. But Lily really wanted to see this one, so we went. I remembered from when I visited it as a kid that it was a pretty disappointing exhibit, and I can report from adulthood that... it still is.

Just the same, there were some cool creatures housed there in many tanks, and I hereby present the three best photos I took for your enjoyment:

(that last one is a snakehead fish - invasive in the Potomac River and its tributaries)
