Help us wish Taz the swell shark a very happy 22nd birthday! 🦈🎉

You can spot Taz swimming through the Kelp Forest exhibit inside the Aquarium Pyramid at Moody Gardens. Swell sharks are known for their unique ability to puff up their bodies when threatened, helping them wedge safely between rocks in the wild.

Be sure to stop by and send some birthday wishes to one of our favorite underwater residents! 🌊
