“While Kentucky doesn't have an ocean, it does have aquariums. In 2006, at least 12 people at Kentucky's Newport Aquarium were bitten by sharks while at an exhibit that allows visitors to touch the animals”
Keep in mind that this aquarium is just across the river from the zoo where parents let their kids fall into the gorilla exhibits.
HARAMBE!!!!!
Is this an example of American exceptionalism?
Yes
And yet it's an awesome aquarium and I highly recommend it. Including the 'touch a shark' part.
It was surprising how sandpaper-ish they feel.
Yes! Me too! I was totally expecting them to be slick.
