All in Review
The Oceanário de Lisboa (Lisbon’s Oceanarium) is the largest indoor aquarium in Europe. It holds an impressive 5 million litres of seawater and includes some pretty amazing creatures in its exhibitions. If ichthyology is your thing, you’d be in heaven but if you enjoy marine biology in general this is an absolute must if you’re ever around Lisbon.
Back in December 2019, I visited the Sedgewick Museum of Earth Sciences in Cambridge with my little brother, Caio, and our friend, Kemi. I had planned to write about it then, but Covid happened and it somehow just completely escaped my mind. However, I was going through some old photographs and found some gems from that day - hence the belated post.
About two years ago, I wrote a short post on the parallels between Magizoology in the wizarding world and Zoology in real life. I wrote it after visiting the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in London of “The Making of Harry Potter”, aka Harry Potter World. Little did I know that the Natural History Museum in London would eventually run an exhibition dedicated to the same concept, so as you can imagine, I was beyond excited to see it.
Last year I, unfortunately, had to miss the first-ever online version of TetZooCon – or TetZoomCon. However, this year, I don’t think much could keep me from attending! I took the day off from work and planned a visit to one of the current exhibitions at the Natural History Museum in London in the morning (more on that on a separate post) followed by an afternoon/evening of TetZoo inspired talks.
In December 2019, I visited the Grant Museum of Zoology in London with a couple of friends, and given our current situation, I thought it would be a good time to write about that visit and daydream about my next one!
I cannot think of many events to which I look forward as much as TetZooCon every year, and I am glad to report that this year’s event did not disappoint. Once again, Darren Naish and John Conway managed to put together an incredible panel of talks and palaeoartists for all of us Tetrapod Zoology fanatics to enjoy. Prepare yourselves, my friends, because this post will be a VERY long one!
