The world’s largest aquarium
Situated on Sentosa Island, the SEA Aquarium houses 100,000 animals of more than 800 marine species, with a pool of 18 million litres of salt water, that was opened on December 7th, 2012.
Amur Tiger
It was the 15th of December, 1998, and we were walking through the moonlit forest, the snow cracking under our feet, then, a growl was heard, like a faraway thunder. But, the soft ‘pop’ of a tranquilizer dart was heard and hit its target. Ten minutes later, the tigress Amur (which we called Nadia) was sleeping placidly.
The White Whale
Available information dates back to the mid-20th century and it mainly sheds light on commercial whaling. Russian scientists get fragmentary information from the studies of their foreign colleagues, mainly from Norway, the United States and Canada.
Adirondacks
At six million acres, New York’s Adirondack State Park is the largest protected landscape east of the Mississippi, larger than Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, and Everglades National Parks combined.
Wreck diving
Very little is typical in the Empire State. Times Square’s Naked Cowboy earns his keep playing guitar in his skivvies.
The Cedar of Lebanon
This is indicated by the very name of this tree, which comes from the Middle East. Unfortunately, at present, it has almost disappeared from the Lebanese mountains due to the pressure their forests were subjected there for millennia since their wood is highly prized.
The Seas of Baja California
Navigating the waters of the Baja California peninsula might be a once in a lifetime experience, like encountering a pack of 300 sperm whales; meaning, three hundred times the image Ahab, that captain who was obsessed with the mythical white whale, chased in Moby Dick, the novel published by Herman Melville in 1851.
Marine endangered species
Mexico is distinguished as one of 17 megadiverse countries. This occurs due to the fact that it is found amongst the first places of lists related to the richness in several species.
