RIO DE JANEIRO: The great skeleton of a humpback whale will greet visitors to the opening next month in Rio de Janeiro of South America’s biggest aquarium -- with sharks waiting for them inside.
The November 9 opening in Rio’s port zone, part of the large-scale refurbishment of the city for the Olympic Games, will be Rio’s first aquarium and one of the biggest anywhere.
