The aquarium!
One of the people in the lab I'm visiting works parttime at Vienna Aquarium.  The aquarium is housed in a building that was built to launch missiles during the 2nd World War, and is one of the tallest buildings in the city.  He took us up to the roof for a gorgeous view at sunset...
 There's also a little tropical house at the aquarium - I love birds. This one hopped right up to us and tried to steal the dangly thing on Arunima's cell phone.

 He also gave us a tour of the seahorse breeding aquariums!  These are little tiny baby seahorses.

 This is a remora on a shark - the remora cleans the shark.  The weird thing is that the cleaning part of the fish - the part that's attached to the shark - is the TOP of the fish's head.  That's his belly on top - he's got his back pressed up to the shark's back.  So strange...
