The recently renovated exhibit allows people to see the 3,000-plus-pound dynamic duo in action within a habitat that resembles their African origins.ДЇor a relative rarity, thereвЂ™s the Ocean RealmвЂ™s Great Hammerhead Shark (named Anchor), a 12-foot-long endangered behemoth that gracefully swims among southern stingrays, sea turtles and silky sharks in 760,000В gallonsВ of seawater. How do you tell the two apart? Well, Genny has a penchant for people-watching and making goofy faces while Button is big into playing with her toys, according to Shawn Danner, a biologist who works mostly with the hippos. Head to Hippo Haven, for example, and youвЂ™ll meet Button and Genny: a rare pair of female Nile hippos that love to play by pressing their snouts against the glass to the delight of every visitor who decides to pass. Some are cool (think: poison dart frog and common clownfish), others are quirky (read: the axolotl and chocolate chip sea star - yep, itвЂ™s real), while a select few are truly one-of-a-kind they, literally, cannot be found in any other aquarium on Earth. The expansive facility, which rests along the Delaware River in Camden, holds a whopping 15,000 marine species in over 1 million gallons of water. To say that Adventure Aquarium makes a splash is one tsunami of an understatement. Are you ready to dive into an incredible aquatic adventure?

As you roam beyond, youвЂ™ll be immersed in an experience thatвЂ™s filled to the gills with creatures that will expand the depths of your understanding. This is where the beauty of the underwater world only begins to unfold before you.

In this particular lair, youвЂ™ve got unlimited air - and a massive tunnel enclosure made of glass - so thereвЂ™s no need to scamper. A row of razor-sharp teeth just inches from your face. Suddenly, the lurking shadow catches the corner of your eye, so you turn around. The schools of fish are too mesmerizing to look at as they dance around in the glittering light: a perfect distraction for this predator of the deep to make its approach. The 10-foot-long sand tiger shark creeps slowly closer, but you donвЂ™t notice - at least at first.
