The NJ State Aquarium in New Jersey offers an exciting venue for the aquarium hobbyist and underwater enthusiast. The exhibits on display offer many different kinds of habitats. An interesting display is the West Africa River experience. In this exhibit you will be feet away from dangerous crocodiles and the even the most dangerous animal in Africa, the Nile Hippopotamus. These animals can be very dangerous since these large beasts are capable of opening their mouths 4 ft. Only whales can open their mouth more. There are exotic birds and you will be immersed in the middle of thousands of fish. The Camden Aquarium brings all the excitement of Africa without the fear of malaria.
