Loveland Living Planet Aquarium has become one of Utahยดs most unique and popular attractions, and is definitely a must-see if you are planning a trip to Utah. Exhibits feature sharks, rays, seahorses, sea jellies, octopus, piranha, rescued sea turtles, penguins and more! It is a unique opportunity for the many landlocked Utahans, particularly children, who have not previously had the chance to interact with such creatures.

Sometimes, surprise parties donโ€™t go exactly as planned... ๐Ÿงบ๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿ‡๐ŸŒ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿฅช

To celebrate our Blue-Billed Curassow sisters, Aluna and Lulo, on their fourth birthday, their animal care team threw them a surprise picnic party!

Unfortunately, they deemed this enrichment too spooky and decided not to come down from their perching to investigate, and that's okay! These birds get enrichment often and love to interact with it, but this picnic was a brand-new type of enrichment for them, so it was a little scary at first! New enrichment gives our animals the opportunity to observe and interact at their own pace. And even simply being introduced to a new object, smell, or experience is enrichment in itself!

So even though the sisters didnโ€™t make it down to the party, the setup was too cute not to share. Happy birthday to them!

Our June Suckers have a new bedroom! ๐ŸŸ

You can now find these Utah native fish in their new habitat across from our North American River Otters, right next to the Brine Shrimp.

While they may not be the flashiest fish here at the Aquarium, June Suckers play a vital role in understanding the health of Utah Lake. This species is known as an indicator species, meaning changes in their health can reveal changes in the health of the surrounding ecosystem.

By monitoring June Sucker populations, scientists can better understand how factors such as water quality, habitat changes, and human activity affect Utah Lake and the rivers that feed into it.
