Dallas Aquarium

Today we visited the Dallas Aquarium. Most of the animals came from the Amazon.We saw not just fish, but many kinds of animals like a sloth sleeping in a tree. The three-toed sloth in the U.S. is a rainforest favorite. They have a lot of birds, and the most attractive was the Scarlet Macaws. It is a bird that came from the Amazon like the Double-yellow Headed Amazon Parrot. When we saw the birds, one of them accidentally "did its business" on Leo's arm. He was not too happy, but we all laughed. My favorite animal that we saw today was the Sea Otter. We could see them through the glass and they did the same things I was doing. As we continued, we saw the flamingos. There were two flamingos fighting, but I do not know why. My other favorite animal was the Jaguar. Jaguars are not normally animals of captivity so it was interesting to see them in the Aquarium.
When we were coming back to the school, we passed the street where President John F. Kennedy was shot in 1963. We parked by the red building and Mr. Smith told us everything about the murder. He showed us the second window of the red building facing the street which was where Lee Harvey Oswald was when he shot Kennedy. On the road, there is an "X" to mark where Kennedy died. It was very interesting.
