Around the World In 80 Tanks
In Shedd Aquarium's historic galleries, you'll experience a quick
trip around the world. Approximately eighty tanks offer windows into the world's aquatic
ecosystems and the incredible diversity of fishes and other animals that live
there. More than 300 species inhabit Shedd Aquarium's galleries. They represent
North and South America, Asia, Africa, and Australia, and descend from homes as
different as Lake Tanganyika in Africa to Lake Michigan here in the United States,
from Asian rivers and the Red Sea to the Fox River in Illinois.
In Ocean Coasts, you'll meet animals who live along the rocky shores
from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Closer to home, the Illinois Lakes and
Rivers gallery gives a close up view of local residents, like river otters, trout and
sturgeon. |

Our Tropical Waters teem with the diverse fishes that
swim through the warm freshwaters of Central and South America and Africa. Nearby,
in Africa, Asia and Australia, you'll see the variety of shapes and
colors of African Lake fishes, Australian lungfish, and a dramatic, faithful recreation of
an Asian tropical river and forest. Enjoy your World Tour!
