Baby sea turtles at Bayworld
Visitors to the Oceanarium at Bayworld will find a tank with baby sea turtles in it. Most of these were hatchlings that got washed up after storms forced them out the warm Mosambique current and into Algoa Bay. They're often in cold shock due to the sudden change in water tempreture that also compromise their condition.

T-Rex in Port Elizabeth
If you had a time machine and could choose any time to go back to, what time would you choose? I think most children would choose to go back to the time of the dinosaurs. Bayworld gives visitors a opportunity to get to know some moving life sized dinosaurs fairly up close and personal. Amongst them a life size T-Rex.

Penguin walk
Bayworld series #8. One of the fairly new activities that take place at the Oceanarium is the Penguin Walk.
