Sea Turtles

I recently visited an aquarium in Cincinnati in which they had sea turtles swimming in a huge tank. You could actually walk underneath this huge aquarium through a tunnel that was enclosed in glass and view the inhabitants from a 180 degree perspective. In this aquarium they had various saltwater species including sharks. The most notable inhabitants of this aquarium to me were the sea turtles. These beautiful creatures with all their colors and swimming capabilities stood out to me and everyone else who observed them. When you think of a turtle in your mind you think of a slow cumbersome animal that doesn't deserve much attention or thought from you. If you see these magnificent animals in an aquarium underwater, it instantly changes your perspective and view of these creatures. Colorful,powerful,full of life,and graceful are only a few things that come to mind when seeing sea turtles in their underwater environment.
