Thanks to 100digitalcreativity.com for the photoshoot.
VR + aquarium = Highlight of the day 👍
I never even you you could do this in a video!!
I can see the experience but I want to feel it. I really want that to happen.
......wow amazing ,really I would love to dive there
WOW ITS SO BEAUTIFUL
I love the aquarium!
That was the coolest video ever!!!! Amazing that there was a whale shark too wow! I didn't even think you could make an aquarium large enough to house one; perhaps they release them when they get to be too large?
Went today with my fiance and had lots of fun.💙🐟
This is such a fun thing to do!
That is awesome👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That was soo cool👌
wow :) awesome video
I love the underwater walkway part
I do hope they re digital
So this is how aquatic life sees these tanks. They must be terribly homesick.
I'm coming there when I turn ten
Amazing!

Anyone ever do this? The thought of it always excited me and I've always wanted to do it but this video actually made it look boring lol
you can move it around
As in it's a 360° video.
@@thepizzacarpizza1056 a lot of people don't know like myself when I first watched a 360 video

It's sad that in 2 minutes, an animal that travels thousands of miles a day, swims past 3 times.
Katie Powell Media you obviously don’t understand whats going on here. This is probably the largest tank In the world. And also they have lots of each animal species in each tank. The Georgia Aquarium takes in animals that come from bad situations (not all of their animals) but like their beluga whales were living in tiny tanks in a horrible aquarium in I think Mexico before the aquarium took them in and gave them tons of space. And these animals wouldn’t travel thousands of miles a day anyways... I don’t see any migrating blue whales in there. Do you?
@@danabradford8702 All marine mammals (except maybe otters) travel hundreds of miles a day, rehabilitation for all animals is possible. If you are actually interested in marine mammals and how they fair in captivity, there's countless studies and documentaries that you can watch to show how unfair it is to put them in this position, even as one of the largest tanks in the world (largest is in China). It's sickening regardless and they do capture wild animals and keep them at Georgia, so either way anyone supporting them is supporting keeping highly intelligent animals in prison like conditions.
@@danabradford8702 I recommend 'Born to be Free' for a documentary about the beluga whales that the Georgia Aquarium had captured but couldn't actually bring to the US because it was considered cruel.
Welp it appears I have been proven wrong, but this aquarium gives their animals exceptional lives compared to many other aquariums, I am completely against taking animals from the wild, but I just hope that the aquarium will get more rescues in the future
@@katiepowellmedia7431 firstly hello I am a zoology doctorate student I’ve been studying animal welfare and the practices of Georgia aquarium thoroughly, and I would like to address your concerned and what your saying as a bit of it seems mislead.
To begin Georgia didn’t “capture those belugas” the belugas they were getting from Russia we’re wild caught but they had spent years within Russian marine parks and sea pens and suffered from terrible conditions as a result of poor care standards for cetaceans in Russia.
The EAZA and the AZA worked to try to get Russia to hand over the animals to multiple rehab facilities, but the Russian facilities that owned these animals demanded pay for the animals, Georgia being one of the largest AZA non profit marine facilities, and the o to facility in the country to have a cetacean program to be approved by multiple international animal welfare organizations decided they would agree to purchase the animals and provide them care.
Unfortunately some misguided activist groups heard that Georgia was biting animals That weren’t wild but “wild caught” and organizations against the AZA spun a completely fabricated and poorly told story about how geo egg is paid people to capture wild animals, when in reality they were trying to provide at least half decent home to these animals that were wild caught and abused by a separate facility that was trying to strong arm payment from Georgia to get the animals in a better and more functional facility.
This misguided controversy caused Georgia to back out of the deal, and many of those belugas ended up dying due to poor care standards on those same Russian facilities.
Also these whale sharks while migratory are not whales, they are large filter feeding sharks, the reason they get the name whale shark is due to their feeding behavior and size.
The reason Georgia got these whale sharks was because they were seized from a fishing trade in Taiwan by animal welfare organizations, these same groups sent specialist and vets to check on these animals welfare. It turned out that the whale sharks had chronic infections and multiple injuries that would permanently damage their ability to swim long distances. For a animal that travels to follow its primary food source not being able to travel and swim long distance is a death sentence.
So these proper weighted their options as limited as they were. Sea pens aren’t big enough, and don’t work for filter feeders like whale sharks, no current rehab facilities and rescues have a space large enough or proper funding to care for these animals short term let alone The long term care these chronically ill animals needed.
The only facility that has the space, resources, and funding to house these animals to let them live out what remained of their lives as united rescues was Georgia aquarium.
There they got a specialty vet team, a specialty care team, a specialty research team, and a specialty habitat and habitat designs built to provide care for not just whale sharks but whale sharks that can’t move and function as a normal healthy animal would.
Also if your curious what AZA means, it means that a zoo or aquarium works as a non profit. All the animals are either rescues, rehab cases, members of vital research programs, or members of accredited captive breeding programs that aid struggling wild populations.
The funding these facilities raise goes to conservation efforts, rescue, rehabilitation, research, animal care, and funding. The training. And education of future professionals In these fields.
