The World's Largest Aquarium.
Look at all the sharks,
stingrays...
I think we will be lucky getting a couple of fish tonight,
we can cook up.
Oh yeah.
Chuck some bait in there.
A nice shark steak.
Yeah.
How much for you to swim in there, you reckon?
You can do it, you can do it.
You can scuba dive in cages, with the sharks and stuff.
Dude, we could have just climbed over there.
Why did we pay to come in here? We could have just...
With my big legs, I could have just stepped over that.
Actually, just please come this side.
For photos?
You stand for photo.
Oh, no photos, no photos. Not buy sir. Only photo.
No need to buy, just one you like.
No, no, no, no.
Oh, so we've got a tunnel. -We've got our own camera. We don't need...
Exactly, we've brought our own camera.
Why would we need to pay for your photos?
Look at this guy.
Yeah.
So these are the same fish that you see from the mall, right?
Because it's just the other side of the glass.
But we're inside this tunnel.
It's pretty cool.
Pretty cool.
And these two lazy buggars...
What are you guys doing?
Wake up!
I guess they must be
fully fed and they're like me after my Indian buffet
and are having a wee nap.
Food coma.
Or are they half-dead? I don't know.
What's up? Have you made some friends?
Yeah.
Who are these guys?
Oh, you're staring at me.
Hello.
Hello wee man.
What kind of fishes are these?
Red Bellied Piranha.
It's a Piranha fish.
Predator.
From South America.
Piranha's eat you, right?
Yeah, it says they're well known for their ferocity and aggression.
So I guess that's why they're on their own.
If they put them with any other fish,
the other fish
would be their dinner.
I think that's what it is.
Maybe they feed them really small fish or something, but yeah,
Live bait.
they've been kept to themselves.
They've been put in quarantine. -Self isolation.
Yeah, self isolation for those piranhas.
And these ones look like massive, massive goldfish.
They look like daddy-sized goldfish. -Look at that guy.
What the...?
Oh, just a random parrot in the underwater zoo.
Oh, there's loads of them,
squawking around.
But aye, these guys just look like massive, massive versions of goldfish.
Maybe it's these - the Angelfish.
No, here's the Angelfish. The Angelfish is here.
Oh, these are the Angelfish.
Ah, okay.
Pretty beautiful.
Yeah.
So yeah, we don't know what the goldfish-looking ones were.
Unless... Oh, there's another screen right there.
This one, Midas Cichlid.
They have a pronounced swelling, known as a "nuchal hump", on their head.
Let's see.
Oh yeah, you see there?
He's got this big hump,
this big hump on his head,
right there.
Ah, so the hump is on the male,
the hump is on the male when they're ready to breed
and then the female's belly also gets bigger,
and then she hold a thousand eggs.
That's what it's telling us.
This guy's looking for...
Yeah, he's looking for a big-bellied female.
Oh, that's a big one.
Yeah, that looks...
No, no, no, that's a head bump, that's a head bump.
He's got a head erection.
Yeah, that will be the female there, maybe.
Unless that's... Oh, no, maybe a little baby male one.
Maybe they're all males in here.
So they're not just breeding rapidly.
No, that's a female right there.
Look, that doesn't have a bump
and looks totally different.
I think she's dying. It's upside-down.
No wonder because all of these are males.
So what have they been doing to her?
What have they been doing to her?
No wonder.
It's the only female I can see in the whole place.
No wonder. Look, her back is broken.
What on earth is going on?
She can barely move.
She's been busted.
Oh, there's another one there as well.
Again, that one looks half-dead as well.
Oh, what have you guys been doing?
What have you lads been up to, uh?
Okay.
Let's see what else we can find.
Couple of otters. He's giving us a show.
Aren't you adorable.
There's a few guys sharing this tank.
We've got one turtle,
one of these,
one of these
and one of these big guys.
All in this tank.
So they probably keep the ones that are friendly with each other together.
That's a noisy Macau, innit?
Macaque? What is it, Macaque?
Macaque's a monkey. Macau.
Macaw?
Macaw, Macaw.
Look at this one with his wee whiskers.
Look at your wee whiskers.
And this one huge, a big purple one.
You've got a smiley face.
You've got a happy, smiley face.
Who's a good boy Who's a good boy?
Oh, you're a good boy.
You're a good boy, aren't you?
Wow.
It's a nice one.
He's copped a little bit of a
snob in the jaw.
Oh, yeah.
Somebody's not too happy with him.
One of these big bullies.
So we're entering the penguin cove,
to see the penguins
and passing these guys,
these very well endowed,
in the nose department, fishes. -Oh no!
Oh no! Oh, come on!
Oh, no. Two more, two more.
Killed us, killed us.
Okay, thank you.
Let's go and see the wee penguins.
Ah, so the biggest ones are the Emperor Penguins.
Ah, this is the ones they have.
They have the Gentoo ones.
Yeah, we have the Gentoo inside here. -Yeah.
The third largest species.
In the first largest is the Emperor.
Ah.
Followed by the King, followed by the Gentoo.
Ah, okay.
Yeah.
So, before we see the penguins,
let's take a look at this.
This is our cage.
We use it to feed our sharks.
We go in the cage here
and the sharks are swimming around the cage.
You do that? You?
Not me. We have a team.
Ah okay.
They do the feeding and other stuff.
Ah, okay.
So they go inside here with fish, like tuna,
and we give them tuna.
They can have squids,
they can have Milkfish and other types of fish.
Ah, okay.
So every day we feed our fish, or our sharks, at 2 pm
and they will have food once in a day.
Once a day?
Yeah. So we can also use the cage for some of our diving experiences.
You see on the other side,
those helmets there?
Yeah.
You put on your head and the diving suit
and you go in the cage and it takes you down,
5 metres.
You get close to the sharks.
Or you can go for scuba diving, without the cage.
Oh, here they all are here.
Alright, so
for the Gentoo penguins...
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
Look how much energy they have.
Swimming about.
Woah! You're a fast one.
We have got 16 inside here.
8 males and 8 females.
Ah. -You'll see the ones with the tags.
The ones with the tags on the right, those are the females.
Ah.
And the ones with the tags on the left are the males.
Are they breeding? Breeding regularly?
Breeding occurs after the winter.
Ah, they have a season. -Usually they try after the winter
and the female lays...
Wow!
The female lays two eggs and it takes around 35 days.
So now you have 16, but next year you will have more,
because they will breed, -Maybe.
they will breed, right? -Maybe. We hope so.
We are very hopeful that maybe
we shall have the babies,
because we have 8 males and 8 females
and we have the couples here.
And all day they just keep jumping and swimming,
jumping and swimming, all day?
Sometimes they will go that side and relax,
Ah okay.
and when it's time for swimming, they come this side.
And what are you feeding them? Because they've got so much energy.
They're like, so fast.
Yeah, we give them fish.
They can have like shrimps.
Are they alive when you give them to them
or you're just like...?
We can throw like this, in the water
or we can feed them individually.
But they're live shrimps?
They're not live.
Ah, they already dead?
Ah, okay. -Already dead, yeah.
We keep them in our freezers. -So,
they don't know how to hunt for their own...?
No need to hunt. -Nah, no need,
because you just feed them shrimps? -We just through them, just feed them shrimps.
Ah, okay, -And sometimes squids,
they can have squids too. -Ah, okay.
And that gives them all this energy.
What a life.
What a life. -So, these ones can live between 10 - 15 years.
Ah.
This species.
I heard they live longer in captivity than they do in the wild,
because there's no predators.
Yeah.
Here there are no predators,
they are taken good care of,
they have medicine, they have food,
Yeah. -live how they want.
So they have chances of living for 30 years.
Oh yeah.
Where in the wild they would never live for 30 years, yeah.
Because there's too much stress there.
So all together, they have moved.
Oh, are they getting fed or what?
Always they stand around there.
They wait for someone from the door.
Maybe to get something.
You know, penguins are known to eat a lot.
Ah, okay. They have very fast metabolisms.
So someone came at the door
and immediately they all just scrambled here.
Because they are used to the sound.
They are used to it. -Ah.
They hear the door is opened and they know the sound.
And they relate that to feeding time or something, or...?
Not actually feeding time,
but whenever they see something...
Something is gonna happen?
Yeah, something is gonna happen. -Ah.
And is something going to happen, or...?
No, no, no, no. -No, she was just checking on them?
She was just checking on them.
Ah, okay.
There is usually special timings for feeding them.
Ah, okay.
So now they're just waiting but they're not going to get anything?
Okay. I feel sorry for them, I feel sorry for them.
Dude, she took two away.
Oh yeah, she took...
Yeah, sometimes there is time for grooming.
Have grooming.
Ah, okay.
Cleaning them, everything.
Ah, okay. -This is the time for that. -They're getting a haircut.
Look at the way they wobble.
So cute.
I wanna grab one and just...
Oh yeah.
Just grab him by the...
I want to take one home.
Can I take one home?
How much? How much I need to pay for one penguin?
No way. -I want this one.
I want this one.
I want this cutie.
Wow. He's the fast one.
Wow!
Very, very fast.
Woah, he just like popped out of there.
The swimming penguin.
That's the fastest one?
Yeah. -He just popped out of the water.
This species, they can swim for 36 km/h.
Oh yeah.
Wow. -And 6 kilometre every single hour.
That's fast.
So these are the fastest swimming penguins.
Ah, okay. -Yeah.
Two strong wings.
Yeah, they have two strong wings.
We have got the breeding area for the sea jellies.
That is the cage, if you wanna go down.
Oh wow, so we can actually wear those helmets and go down?
Wear the helmets and the diving suits.
And go all the way down,
with the sharks and stuff.
I see one shark there.
What is this?
This, eh, that's fish food.
Fish food? It looks like poo. -If you wanna feed the fish, you take this one.
Oh, we can feed them?
Yeah, you can feed them.
You just open the container, like this,
then you put here
and drop them in. -Ah, like that, so I don't have to touch it?
So I don't have to give them Covid.
Okay.
You guys,
you guys wanna eat?
Here, fight for this.
Yeah, they always fight. -They all fight for it?
They fight for it?
Who got it? -Who got it? I didn't see.
They'll fight.
One more, one more.
I'll put it right here.
I'll put it right here. They just wait.
Oh, they can see, they can see.
Yeah, they can see and smell.
They can see and smell.
There we go.
Who's getting it, who's getting it?
Oh, it went in his mouth. -He got it, he got it.
Okay.
These are still young.
Ah, okay.
These are still young.
I want to give to one of these big ones.
????
Those are ????
Wow, that one's really fast.
Okay.
Yeah, when you put like this, they will come around.
Just show. -Already they can smell it, yeah?
They can smell and they can... -Okay.
Oh, the big one got it.
Yes.
I was trying to get the big one to get it.
The big get bigger.
Okay, the minnows.
The minnows, it's your turn.
Go on little one, little one.
Yeah, the wee one got it.
Come on.
This is good, this is fun.
I want the big one, again.
The big one, the big one, this.
You, you, you, you.
Big one.
He got it.
Yeah, okay and the last one for the wee one.
For the wee man.
Okay, here you go wee man.
Yeah, he got it.
Fantastic.
They like to eat. -Yeah.
You want to have a go?
I'll do all of them at the same time.
All at the same time?
Maybe I'll go for this guy.
Okay, yeah, give, give.
Oh, he doesn't even care, he doesn't care.
Oh! What happened?
What happened?
This guy.
They're scared of him?
He's flying.
Oh, he got two, he got two.
Wow.
Thanks a lot.
So, we are now on top of the aquarium.
When you look down... -Oh yeah, I didn't...
I just noticed, we're on top of a glass... -We're over the tunnel.
Yeah? -That is the aquarium tunnel down.
Yeah. -That you went inside on the ground floor.
Ah, so we're above this.
Yeah, we are above it. -Ah, okay.
On top of the aquarium.
So, from here to the bottom down, it's 11 metres.
11 metres, yeah?
And we have 10 million here, litres of water.
10 million litres of water?
Yeah. -Ah.
Natural sea water.
This is all sea water.
Ah, okay.
But when you go to the other side of this...
And you have this big filtration system that just constantly runs, -Yeah.
and keeps the water perfect for the fish? -It's for the cleaning.
Yeah.
Okay.
Alright, that's it.
That's behind the scenes. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much Mr Mustafa.
You're welcome sir.
That was awesome.
That guy's good, isn't he? Mr Mustafa.
I think it was like a group tour we were having
and me and Luke were the only ones that were really interested.
Free private tour.
We were the only ones that were interested,
so we kinda like stuck with him, and look.
Everybody else has cleared off.
Okay, thank you Mr Mustafa, thank you.
Okay.
Are you trying to rub his wee belly?
Uh, no.
Something else.
Oh wow.
It's cute. -There's a ton of them.
Yeah, there's loads.
It's like their own little tropical world,
right in there. -This guy's having a bathe.
Cool.
This is the most active one though.
Okay.
Wow, how much do you think a lobster like this would cost in a Dubai restaurant?
What, beachfront? A couple of hundred bucks.
Okay, this way to the UAE night creatures.
I guess the lobster's a night creature, right?
That's why they've got them under the florescent light.
So we've got one wee reptile there.
Any more?
Surely doesn't have all this to himself.
He's probably got some...
Bearded Dragons in the tree.
Oh yeah, there we go.
Wee Bearded Dragons, two of them.
False Cobra, there's a snake.
Oh there he is.
He's in the tree.
It says 'False Cobra'.
Is it like, he pretends to be a cobra but he's just an ordinary, harmless snake?
He's a fraud.
Yeah.
Exposed. Canceled.
What's this?
Malayan Horned Frog.
A frog with horns. There he is there.
He's got two wee horns on the front of his head.
Right there.
Very devilish.
Oh, look at you.
What are you?
What is that?
What is this wee thing, running around?
It's a Brandt's Hedgehog.
It's a hedgehog?
Ah, okay. -Oh my goodness.
He's running around. Look at him.
We used to get them in our garden in Scotland.
At nighttime, they would just roam around the garden.
He's doing figure eights.
What's he..? He's probably looking for food.
He's doing, he is doing figure eights.
He's literally doing figure eights.
Oh, look at this guy.
What?
Oh wow.
He's got a horn.
He's got another big hump on his head.
Is he gonna change colours?
Wow. Is it a chameleon?
Yeah, a chameleon. -Ah, okay.
A Veiled Chameleon, it says.
That's crazy if he changes colours. -He's very slow.
He's making very slow and deliberate motions.
He knows we're vlogging.
Dude!
It's the bats.
You fancy some soup?
Oh wow.
That'll help.
Don't do that man. That's like...
They're supposed to be nocturnal.
They're fruit bats.
I was trying to get you good lighting.
You were trying to help me with my vlog.
You just like...
Flip the bats!
Oh, he's gonna get us kicked out.
Okay, so there's a wee treetop thing here.
Oh!
It's a wee wooden bridge.
Hey, don't do that.
Luke!
Don't do that! Come on.
You big kid, you go ahead.
You go ahead.
What is the point in this?
We're gonna see anything up here like some birds or something?
Look at this big kid.
That was it, that was it.
There was nothing there.
We get a bird's eye view of the... -No, there's...
There's birds there.
Oh, it's to see that macaque. Macaque?
Macaw. -Macaw.
It's to see that bloody Macaw.
We've already seen him.
And another one.
He's got a wee pal right there, that I missed.
That's very multicoloured.
It's a Lorikeet, we have them in Australia.
Oh look, down here there's some dories.
Some dories from the movie.
From the movie... -From what movie?
I can't remember. -Finding Nemo.
Mate, I'm doing a Dory joke.
Oh. I've got dementia.
Ohhh, ha ha.
Okay.
Yeah, Ellen Degenerate.
Anyway, there's this massive prehistoric Super Croc there,
that lived 112 million years ago.
I think it's just a model of it, but
I think there's some real crocs somewhere around here.
These are their skulls.
Or models of them.
Oh crikey!
Oh, there we go!
Holy sh...
Oh, she's a beauty.
I'm just gonna jump on top of her and clamp her jaw shut.
Go on, you're an Aussie.
Do your Steve Irwin.
Go on, do your Steve Irwin.
Go on mate. -Jump in there.
On you go.
I'm sure you can find your way in, through there.
She is a beast.
But...
Hung of meat.
Yeah, they just kinda like sit there waiting for food, right?
Waiting for something to...
Pretending they're sleeping
and then you walk past and crunch!
You're missing a leg.
You'll be the man with one strong leg.
One's better than none, right?
Jump on this one.
Look at this big kid. You can't take him anywhere.
Luke, behave yourself!
Behave yourself young man.
I'm Steve Irwin, I'm the croc hunter.
Oh, I told you to do it.
It's okay, his guardian gave him permission.
He got permission.
Dory.
There we go, Dory.
Beautiful.
There's loads of them.
Loads of them.
And these are the things you don't want to see when you go swimming at the beach.
When I stayed at Atlantis here, they had
no swimming, because they had tons of these.
Yeah, loads of them. -They're not deadly, are they?
They just sting, right?
I dunno.
I think. I hope.
Well, they closed the beach, so...
Well,
I reckon that's us Luke.
What did you think of Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo.
The biggest aquarium in the world, eh? -Yeah.
What did you think? -Pretty good.
Penguins are cool.
Got to see the crocs.
Enjoyed ourselves.
Look, it's a wee turtle.
We didn't see them before, did we?
Hello wee man.
Okay, we are out of here guys.
Oh, that's the penguins. -This way, this way.
No, I want to go and play with the penguins.
