Explore The Oceanarium - THE Mediterranean
The Mediterranean Sea covers nearly a million square miles and borders three continents: South Europe, Western Asia and Northern Africa.
It is also one of the world’s youngest seas – until approximately five million years ago the area was a hot desert dotted with shallow salty pools of water. All this changed when rising water levels in the Atlantic formed a gigantic waterfall across the Strait of Gibraltar filling the Mediterranean Sea to its current level.
Today the Med is connected to the Black Sea through the Dardanelles and the Strait of the Bosphorous, and (since 1869) the Red Sea through the man-made Suez Canal.
Some of the species you will find in our Mediterranean display are:
| Creature Name | Scientific Name |
