humans are the most advance living creature on planet earth. mother nature has given us with the knowledge and skill to preserve this earth. but do we do? we kill it. slowly. it is ultimately our own genius that will be our downfall. its happening world wide. unessecary killing and consumption of animals in china, even though there is sufficient cow,chicken etc etc, rare and exotic species are being kill and consume. why? because of ignorance and power.

logging is happening worldwise, global warming, pollution. its out responsibility to take care of the earth and its inhabitants. but we choose to play god and rule this earth. so clever we are to decide the fate of the earth...but never did we think about the fate of ourselves, when this earth is no more (:

my 2 cents.

yup! there's a sailfin swimming over to the next tank!

there's also a very unique tank at underwater world... it allows you to stick your hand into the water at mid tank level and feed the fish. for some reason the water doesn't flow out from that opening... which it should due to the placing of the opening? too bad i dun have a pic of that.. hand was too wet to use the camera after sticking my hand in

if im not wrong it has something to do with air pressure. as we all know, air pressure presses down against us. the air press against the "hole" where ur hands go in, and presses at the top where the surface of the water is. and because standard atmospheric pressure is the same around us, both pressure are equally exterted, and maintains equlibrium, thus no water spill out. I THINK. correct me someone if im wrong, this is my best explanation how come its like this.

here is a poorly drawn picture to illustrate... the red arrows show the air pressure. equal.

yeah i think you are on to something. the tank itself is maintained at a lower pressure, so that the atmospheric pressure exerted at the opening is enough to stop the water from flowing out... think of it as a semi vacuum in the tank... the 'semi vacuum' 'sucks' the water in the tank maintaining it at that level... interesting!

and cool picture of the hand in the tank btw.. haha

This was wad they reported in last year's LRD (little red dot) There's a vacuum at the top sucking so that there wasn't any spillage..
