Pet Sharks

As in touch sharks, not having sharks as pets. Oh never mind. In any event, the Chula Vista Nature Center's newest exhibit, Shark and Ray Experience, is a different kind of touchy-feely experience. The new exhibit includes a 4,000-gallon "touch tank" with a least five species of sharks and rays and a 17,000-gallon "free-swimming" tank with underwater and overwater viewing areas of larger sharks and rays. If you haven't been to the Chula Vista Nature Center, this is a perfect reason to go see one of San Diego's little known gems.
