From South Carolina Aquarium - Charleston, SC:
You can become an explorer in the jungles and rivers of the Amazon in our new changing exhibit, Secrets of the Amazon. Exhibits featuring the diversity of the Amazon are found throughout the exhibit where animals such as a green anaconda, goliath bird-eating spider, piranha, electric eels, poison dart frogs and a green aracari await. The Mountain Forest Gallery is a remarkable walk-through habitat depicting a mountain ravine at a cascade.
