Just like it’s a good idea to go get a checkup every now and then from your doctor, our sharks get checked out from time to time as well. Just recently, we have given most of our sharks their annual physical checkups. Of course, the sharks can’t go to the doctor, so we bring the doctor (one of our staff veterinarians) to them.

2011 has begun and it is in full swing. If you happen to be one of the people who made a new year’s resolution, but are having trouble keeping it, why don’t you try a greener approach to the New Year? There are several ways to be more environmentally conscious. Many ways are small things that you can do every day. Take those small changes and help build a greener future!

Nurra the Bennett's Wallaby

This week, we would like to introduce you to Nurra, our Bennett's wallaby.

Nurra was named in honor of our Adventure Camp program, as her name means “camp” in Aborigine.

Our newest aquarium exhibit, at Sharks/The Coral Reef has recently been opened with some amazing creatures that inhabit sea grass environments. The aquarium features several unique species of fish and invertebrates.

Sea grass communities are home to small, delicate species and often serve as a haven for juvenile fish before they make the journey into the open sea.

This weekend we're combining three of my favorite things at SeaWorld San Antonio : great food, country music and coasters. We have fun planned for the next three weekends!

Sara Evans kicks off SeaWorld's Bud & BBQ celebration on Saturday, May 2 at 7 p.m. Jessica Simpson performs on May 9.
