SOMETHING GHOSTLY IS LURKING IN DC... See a Rare Albino Alligator in New Exhibit  This week, the National Aquarium, Washington, DC, will unveil an extremely rare albino alligator in the new Secrets of the Swamp exhibit, here only until February. With fewer than 100 in the world, and an extremely low survival rate in the wild, it is almost impossible to spot one—until now.

At about 4 feet long, the 2-year-old male zebra shark, named Zeke, is much smaller than Zoe, and he is also much lighter in color. Zoe has been at the Aquarium for 12 years, and is estimated to be about 17 years old. Look for Zeke the next time you visit! » Read More | AND THE WINNING NAMES ARE... Violet and Jasper!  Thank you to everyone who voted in our puffin chick naming contest! Out of 1,836 votes, Violet and Jasper were the two most popular names. The chicks are growing up fast. They spend very little time in the burrow and can be seen splashing in the water and scuttling across the land in our Sea Cliffs exhibit. They're looking a lot like their parents, except their bills are slightly smaller and still gray in color. Visit soon for a chance to see Violet and Jasper before they're all grown up!
