Sharks In Depth explores shark fact versus fiction, anatomy and behavior through a series of hands-on activities. Visitors will learn how a shark survives without a swim bladder, how they sense prey through vibrations and smell, what currently threatens shark populations, and more.

"Moody Gardens currently has more than a dozen shark species in the Aquarium Pyramid, and our guests are absolutely fascinated with them," said John Zendt, General Manager of Moody Gardens. "The Sharks In Depth exhibit is a really fun and interactive way to learn more about ocean predators."

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 is available to visitors so that they can learn to identify shark species from around the world.

As one of the largest aquariums in the U.S., the 10-story blue-glass Aquarium Pyramid features animals from the North Pacific, South Atlantic, South Pacific and Caribbean. In all, it houses more than 10,000 marine animals in 1.5 million gallons.
