Our lives are connected to the oceans, no matter where we are. While Mote Aquarium is closed temporarily, they're bringing the oceans to you every week.

Cecil the Traveling Terrapin

Diamondback terrapin Cecil took a stroll in Mote Aquarium—the first of many #CecilAdventures to come.

Shark Feeding

Our sharks don’t engage in a “feeding frenzy” (in other words, they’re not like humans with our comfort food!). At Mote, sharks are trained to swim toward special targets to receive their food and vitamins, which helps us take great care of them.

#HappyOTTER
