National Aquarium, Washington Welcomes General George
Fish fans and military enthusiasts alike will enjoy the latest exhibit debuting this week at the National Aquarium in Washington. An Arothron hispidus, or stars and stripes puffer fish, will join the family of over 250 species at the National Aquarium in Washington. Named “General George” for his authoritative presence, the puffer holds command over a watery exhibit featuring a sunken replica wing and prop engine of a World War II F4U-1 Corsair.
