| A Tank of Sticks |
"Dangerous and Deadly" certainly wasn't an understatement for the next area of the Aquarium! From piranhas and puffer fish to alligators and crocodiles, you really had to watch your step! Of course, as long as you stayed outside the glass, you would be perfectly safe. Now, about the picture above, are you thinking I just posted a picture of some underwater sticks? Look again! That "stick" right in front, with the curved ends, is no stick at all, but an impostor in the form of a snake! This tank contained a couple dozen Tentacled Snakes, which can grow up to 25-30 inches in length. I will not describe their methods for capturing and eating their prey, which consists solely of small fish, but I'm sure it will reassure you to know that their venom is not poisonous to humans. Tentacled Snakes can live in fresh or salt water, and can stay underwater for up to 30 minutes.

What a smart disguise.
Amazing disguise. I would have thought it was an old hose!
