Welcoming Two New Giant Sea Bass
Two new giant sea bass are swimming into Kelp Forest in the Oceans gallery!
Currently weighing in at over 47 pounds at four years old, these spotted apex predators have been known to grow over seven feet long, with the largest recorded coming in at 563 pounds and nine feet in length!
Their native kelp forest habitat provides excellent coverage to hide from the occasional shark or sea lion predator. Otherwise, these striking yet critically endangered fish sit at the top of the food chain, eating stingrays, lobsters, crabs, squids, flatfishes and even small sharks.
The sea bass are exploring their new home among other animals in Kelp Forest. Make sure to welcome them during your next visit!

Hello. Are these Nautilus still alive in 2024? Its 13 year old movie. And they can be like 15 to 20 years. 😛🙂
I love Loke and Elelo! I know them from MSQ..... so happy that they have such a good home with you guys!!
I was at shed aquarium last week!
What are those stem plants ?
The stems that you see are model mangrove roots.
Trying to impress the ladies. Sweet! 🐧 🥰
Poor pup only got one ice cube and looks so much like Joey
Is the turtle dead or alive
Dante, our alligator snapping turtle, is alive and can be found in the Great Lakes gallery as Shedd!
I'm curious about these lovely creatures why do they likr ice that much??
Great question! Ice is more of an interactive treat for the sea otters, rather than a source of hydration because they get all the water they need from their food.

Whether it's cut hoses or lavender stalks or palm fronds, they're just so happy decorating their nests... go JR! 🐧❤🐧 Whhooooa! 🎶 thanks for sharing the vid!
How many pieces of hose would a penguin normally find in the wild? 🤣
