Sharks In Depth, the latest exhibit in the Aquarium Pyramid® at Moody Gardens®, explores shark fact versus fiction, anatomy and behavior through a series of hands-on activities. Visitors can learn how a shark survives without a swim bladder, how they sense prey through vibrations and smell, what currently threatens shark populations and more. Sharks In Depth explores the mysterious and often-misunderstood world of sharks, from where they live and what they eat, to how they are designed for their environments. A new Aquarium Pyramid® Shark Passport will be available to visitors so that they can learn to identify shark species from around the world.
This exhibit is included in the admission price of the Aquarium.
