Odysea Aquarium

Posted byTrail RockerPosted inUncategorized

Recently, Barbara had to fly back to Texas to attend the funeral of a dear family member. While there Barbara, her son and daughter went to an aquarium to kill time before the flight home. From what I gathered they really enjoyed the aquarium so the next day, when we arrived in Apache Junction, near Phoenix, Barbara looked to see if there was an aquarium in the area that the two of us could visit. As it turned out there is what is called the Boardwalk in Scottsdale and it has an aquarium called the Odysea Aquarium. So last Friday Barbara and I went to visit our underwater friends. It always amazes me how colorful our aquatic friends are. This is a wonderful aquarium. So if you’re ever in the Phoenix area be sure to visit the Odysea Aquarium in Scottsdale. (31)

This is a Humpback Chub. They are native to the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. However, after Glen Canyon Dam was built up stream, the water in the Colorado River, entering the Grand Canyon, was too cold and nearly killed off these fish. They are still found in the tributary’s to the Colorado River but no longer in the river. In fact on my last river trip in 2013 we got to swim with these creatures. They liked to rub up against our legs while swimming.
