Become a Trainer for a Day at the Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, Connecticut

Richard tries a new career at the Mystic Aquarium in this season 4 segment of Weekends with Yankee (episode 403). The aquarium is located in Mystic, Connecticut, and houses over 1000 different animals. In this segment, Richard makes a beluga whale sing, takes a selfie with a sea lion, and feeds a penguin. We learn all about the different behaviors exhibited by the animals and the dangers they face in the wild amidst environmental changes. Cute and intelligent, these aquatic animals will steal your heart, just like they stole Richards.
