Both by force of its size and of its design, the Lisbon Oceanarium gives visitors the opportunity to learn a lost about the marine life in sundry oceanic habitats. The venue shelters some 450 species, counting thousands of specimens, and reproduces a wide range of habitats, from the tropical Indian coral reefs to the Antarctic coast. In spite of the fact the animal life asset is as impressive as it gets, the Oceanarium has often been criticized for reuniting, in an artificial manner, species which otherwise, in their natural environment, would not blend in together into the same picture, thus distorting the understanding one might get about the sea life.
