QUIRKY WORLD ... A daily look at some of the world’s stranger stories
The exhibit, Sea Monsters Revealed: Aquatic Bodies, includes the preserved bodies of sharks and other animals with their flesh stripped away to expose muscles, bones, and organs underneath. The exhibit is similar to the popular Bodies and Body Worlds exhibits of dissected human bodies that have toured the world.
The show includes 18 big sea creatures along with more than 150 individual organs and smaller animals. The preserved specimens do not include animals from the Georgia Aquarium. The aquarium says all of the animals in the exhibit were recovered from fisheries and other sources in accordance with animal protection standards.
