While in Maine, we stopped by the Oceanarium to learn more about the Atlantic-based ocean critters.  In addition to all the very nicely laid out exhibits, they had a terrific specimen tank.  A nice young lady handed out each of the creatures and explained all about them - their makeup, living and eating habits, and lot's of really cool information.
