Brighton Sea Life Centre, Brighton Wed, 7th July 2010 - Thu, 31st March 2011 From £14.50*The Brighton SEA LIFE centre offers a fun and educational day out whatever the weather. With over 150 species and 57 displays, you will be hard pressed to find a more enjoyable day for the whole family! Watch in amazement as giant turtles and sharks glide above you in our underwater tunnel. Come and visit our Tropical Reef - Complete with a shark encircled wreck and breath taking tropical coral, you can make it your own adventure! A show piece of Victorian splendor and as the oldest operating aquarium in the world is considered to also be the best! Our fantastic new feature showcases eels, snakes and all things serpent-like from beneath the waves. Many are brightly coloured, others verge on the bizarre...and one or two are deadly! In this feature you will see how creatures can evolve. The sea snakes are very close relatives to land snakes and still have to surface to breathe. It also shows how humans may have mistaken large moray eels for sea monsters! One of the most beautiful serpents in the new feature is the Dragon Moray. Its striking colours and amazing features make it look like a thing of legend! In addition to the Dragon Moray the new feature will also showcase the Snowflake, Zebra and Unicolour Snake Moray Eels. "We have introduced cleaner shrimp to the tanks so that the customers can watch the moray eels being cleaned and even getting a dental inspection" said Alex Gerard SEA LIFE Curator. Whilst the Moray Eels aren't venomous the same can't be said for the other of SEA LIFE's newest residents. "The Banded Sea Snake is one of the most venomous snakes in the world. It has about 10x more venom than a rattlesnake!" Serpents of the Sea will comprises five brand new tanks in a specially tailored arena designed to both mesmerise and menace. It also seeks to show how important such creatures are to the broader ocean eco-system. Times: Daily from 10am - 6pm Last admission 5pm. Adult 15+, Child age 3-14 years, OAP 60+, Student (Valid student ID).
