🦈🚌🦠 It may come as a surprise that an animal as big as a school bus depends on some of the smallest creatures in the ocean to survive. But being the largest fish in the ocean (and the largest non-mammal vertebrate in the world) is just one of the surprising things about the whale shark! These majestic creatures are most commonly found in areas where water temperatures exceed 21˚C (70˚F), but they have been spotted as far north as the Bay of Fundy and the Sea of Okhotsk. Some whale sharks migrate vast distances to enjoy the annual phytoplankton bloom or fish spawning events off of continental shelves. Whale sharks are increasingly common in the waters off of #CapeCod, Massachusetts, where these animals were filmed as part of a study conducted by #WHOI biologst Camrin Braun.

Even with good intentions, the impact can be disastrous and lasting. Share this video if you learned something new about our favorite aquarium fish and the impact of human actions on their survival! #AquariumFish #EndangeredSpecies #AquaticConservation

It's #WorldTreeKangaroo Day! Tree Kangaroos are unique marsupials that use their curved claws and long tails to climb through treetops. Logging and land clearing are major threats to these animals and are destroying their limited habitat. Out of 14 existing species, 7 are classified as Endangered or Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List. Did you know that WAZA has a Global Species Management Plan (GSMP) for one of these species called the Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo? GSMPs such as the Goodfellow’s Tree Kangaroo creates partnerships and global networks, to better manage and conserve the species both in human care and in its natural environment.
