Straight back at the very far end of Endless Ocean’s main aquarium tank is a 20 meter tall by 6 meter wide piece of acrylic that’s dropped inside the aquarium itself and rear projected with videos of animals. The four animal species are whale shark, killer whale, humpback whale, and sunfish. The videos rotate and give the illusion of these animals swimming by in the distance, hence the name “Endless Ocean”.



This photo is showing a killer whale swimming away. The tall dorsal fin can be seen as well as the right pectoral fin.



These two photos are of a humpback whale swimming by left to right. Both pectoral fins can be seen in the second photo.




This is mostly viewable from the Ocean Shelf viewing area because it’s closer to the acrylic.

These two previously released renderings of Endless Ocean depicting a humpback whale and a killer whale were not placeholder, they were intentional to represent this feature of the exhibit:

An upcoming exhibit in Tropical Ocean is The Rainforest, a walkthrough aviary:







Most of the birds are still in quarantine in back of house, but some of the birds are just now starting to be placed into the aviary. The exhibit won’t be ready for guests until the birds have had time to acclimate.

The aviary netting extends out to two of the Dolphin Habitat pools, so eventually the dolphins will be able to swim into the aviary and potentially interact with the birds:

On the lower level of One Ocean is the Animal Care Center, which is the SeaWorld-equivalent to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay’s Animal Care Center. Guests can observe and learn about the park’s state-of-the-art medical facilities, food prep, and more. There’s also an area for animal ambassadors (such as a sloth) to be brought out for a close up educational opportunity, interactive areas, and a few fish tanks, but the tanks aren’t ready yet.





















A sea lion and seal underwater viewing area is also accessible from the Animal Care Center:

The only outdoor exhibit at SeaWorld Abu Dhabi is an aviary. This exhibit is located out front by the entrance and is connected to the Yas SeaWorld Research & Rescue Center. It is specifically designed for rescued birds from the region, such as shorebirds and even flamingos, which can be housed in this aviary while rehabilitating. By having the aviary outside, it will allow the animals to remain in as natural of an environment as possible, so they can eventually be released back into the wild. So far, there are no animals in this exhibit.
