Join us Atlas Obscura and expert hosts Stephanie Joseph and Ethan Angelica as we once again explore the underwater world of the New York Aquarium's Ocean Wonders: Sharks! exhibit. During this one hour online experience, you'll get to take a look at some of the aquarium's sharks and other creature exhibits live! We'll dive into the important role sharks play in our aquatic ecosystems starting in the NY Aquarium's beautiful coral reef tunnel. Discover the diversity of sharks and how their adaptations help their survive in habitats all over the world. Plunge into the depths of Hudson Canyon’s Edge as we discuss how we protect the species that call New York's waters home.

If you have any questions about the sharks, you'll be able to talk directly to Stephanie and Ethan, and pick their brains for all the selachimorpha trivia you can handle! So grab your favorite beverage, and join us for underwater happy hour!

Ethan Angelica has been talking about animals at Wildlife Conservation Society parks for over 13 years!
