Apparently, this beautiful aquarium tank in Okinawa is the second largest in the world. Whale sharks! Last year I swam with one on Maui.

Wow, that's pretty awesome. I thought the one in Osaka was pretty cool, but wow. I've checked out the one in London, Monterey Bay and Tokyo Sea Life Park as well, but this tank is really big. Hmm...now that I think about it, the one in Osaka has multiple levels to view the same tank, but it looks like this tank in Okinawa is bigger and I remember only one Tiger shark in Osaka.
