The length of the basin is 193 meters and includes a special section for the living creatures that live in freshwater and another that includes reptiles and amphibians, as well as a non-aquatic section for displaying bats and swamp creatures.
One of the most noticeable things in the aquarium is the presence of a huge crocodile.
In a special room, the aquarium displays a shark, as well as photographing the stages of its emergence from eggs and even its large shape.
The basin is not satisfied with displaying aquatic organisms only, but also gives its visitors the opportunity to see the shapes and plants found at the bottom of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans.
