This actually happened to me.

In Germany we basicially have 2 ways of dealing with wildlife:

#1 - try to pet it

#2 - omfg IT TRIES TO EAT ME, RUN LIKE HELL!

-----------------------
In Ålesund, Norway, there's a fantastic aquarium, the Atlanterhavsparken.
There are some really impressive tanks (especially the huuuge one showing all the huuuuge fish living in the Atlantic Ocean) and at the very end, there's an open tank where visitors can feed fish.
Inside the tank, mostly harmless fish like pollock, halibut...and also a variety of WOLFFISH.

The wolffish, or seawolfs bite is stronger than that of a bulldog.

There is nothing but a rather small sign saying "don't hold your finger into the water, the wolffish bites.".

:D; probably because all the norwegians know their fish, they can show these beasts so openly.
(probably also the reason why everyone stared at me, while I stroked the fish...)


The reason why Norway is so keen on showing it to Germany, is because Germany helped Norway rebuild Ålesund, which got almost completely destroyed in a fire.


oh and...here's a picture of a seawolf:

... Is it weird that the first thing I thought upon seeing the wolf-fish was "Hey, that looks like that space worm from Star Wars!"?

Germany's face was adorable in the second panel.
