Visiting the Lisbon Oceanarium

The Oceanário de Lisboa (Lisbon’s Oceanarium) is the largest indoor aquarium in Europe.

TetZooCon 2019

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.

Prepare yourselves, my friends, because this post will be a VERY long one!

I can honestly say that I have done no research on this topic whatsoever.
