hey, i would like to recommend you viewers to go to Aquaria in KLCC, the new one.. That place is fantastic, the moment you put your feet in, you will experience the feeling of being under the ocean with all kinds of species of fish and insects.. It has a magnificent view that one cannot take your eyes off.. it is like a tunnel going through the sea.. hehe.. if the glass breaks , dont ask me to help you... wakakak... i'm so mean.. There are sharks, hammerhead ones, screwdrivers ones... haha... just joking.. all these were imported, it may b kinda crowded now because it is still new... The price is worth paying for.. but if you go in a group or on school trips, HALF PRICE!! hehe... anyway, i've never been there.... wakakakaka... but I know all these from my friends who went there on thursday, i missed because of my Bhangra performance... have to practise lar.. for teachers you know, dont play play... haha.... ok lar.. here are some pictures that may enlighten you.. have pleasure looking at them... keke...
This is a LionFish.. Look at its many many fins.. but BEWARE!! it is poisonous...the means to protect itself. I've done some research on this fish...
> Lion-fish have venomous fin spines that can produce painful puncture wounds.
> Fatalities, however, are rare. The fish have elongated dorsal fin spines and enlarged pectoral fins, and each species has a particular pattern of zebralike stripes.
> A person punctured by one of the sharp spines will immediately feel strong pain. Rapid swelling of the affected body area develops which may make the movement of limbs very difficult. Lion-fish stings can cause nausea, breathing difficulties, paralysis, convulsions and collapse. Even death may occur in exceptional circumstances. Most people survive in spite of the great pain. The venom in the spines remains active for days, so even discarded spines should be treated with caution. It may take several months for a full recovery and if the sting is left untreated, gangrene may develop.

Some cute turtle, definitely not those in "Finding Nemo".. haha... "cool, dude"
> Sea turtles have an extraordinary sense of time and location. They are highly sensitive to the Earth's magnetic field and probably use it to navigate.
> They live up to 189 years. The fact that most species return to nest at the locations where they were born seems to indicate an imprint of that location's magnetic features. The ridley turtles are especially peculiar because instead of nesting individually like the other species, they come ashore in one mass arrival known as an "arribada" (arrival).

you see that little clown fish there?... Now, we are talking bout Nemo and his anenenemone.. Opps! anemone... haha... after reading that, you wont think Nemo is that cute and harmless.. hahaha... juz jk..
> Clown fish (also called the Clown Anemonefish) are small fish that live among anemone (fish-eating animals that look like undersea flowers and have hundreds of poisonous tentacles).
> The anemone's tentacles kill other fish that touch them, but the Clown fish seems to be immune to its poison. Scientists think that the Clown fish may be coated with a mucous that protects it from the poison.
> The anemone protects the Clown fish from most predators, who know not to go near the anemone's tentacles. The clown fish helps the anemone by cleaning it (as it eats detritus) and perhaps by scaring away predators of the anemone.

wei, this fish is very special you know... called catfish... hehe...
> Catfish have no scales. All catfish, except members of Malapteruridae (electric catfish), possess a strong, hollow, bonified leading ray on their dorsal and pectoral fins, through which a stinging protein can be delivered if the fish is irritated. In members of the family Plotosidae, and of the genus Heteropneustes, this protein is so strong it may hospitalize humans unfortunate enough to receive a sting. And I got that shocking sting!! haha, if u get wat i mean.. lol

this is the LEAF INSECT!! hehe... there on that block of wood, if you can find it.. haha.. come test your eyes... keke...
> They tend to resemble sticks, twigs or leaves.
> Usually they are green or brown in colour. They spend much of their time hanging motionless in plants, shrubs or trees. Even if they move, they sway slightly, as if caught by the movement of the wind.
> They are not easily seen for their camouflage. Stick insects have powerful mandibles. They are herbivorous, they eat plant leaves only, usually feed on broad-leaved plants.

mari mari come come... can you make out wat is that?... it is a tarantula!!! Black Widow!! haha, i oso dunno what species is that lar.. juz some spider.. not spiderman... long live the spider...
> Tarantulas have a hairy two-part body and very strong jaws (with venomous fangs). They have eight hairy legs; each leg has 2 tiny claws at the end and a cushioning pad behind the claws. The hairs on the body and legs are sensitive to touch, temperature, and smell. Tarantulas have a hard exoskeleton and not an internal skeleton.
> Tarantulas are large hairy spiders that live in warm areas around the world, including South America, southern North America, southern Europe, Africa, southern Asia, and Australia. The greatest concentration of tarantulas is in South America. There are about 300 species of tarantulas. The biggest tarantula is Pseudotherathosa apophysis, which has a leg span of about 13 inches (33 cm). These arachnids have a very long life span; some species can live over 30 years.
oOK lar... i guess that is enough... hahaha... bye bye! see u there! =P
