Animal Planet uncovers The Aquarium

Discovery-owned US cablenet Animal Planet has commissioned an observational documentary set in the western hemisphere’s largest aquarium.

The Aquarium (working title) is being produced by Red Arrow-owned prodco Left/Right and is set in Georgia Aquarium in the US.

Premiering this year, the series will document the animals that live there and the work of the people dedicated to their care.

The facility is home to southern sea otters, endangered African penguins, rescued California sea lions, whale sharks and manta rays, among other species.

The series follows the day-to-day activities of the aquarium’s biologists, researchers and trainers, and reveals the mechanics of the aquarium.
