Shows
The Vancouver Aquarium is home to 50,000 animals which hail from diverse habitats, from Canada’s Arctic to the Amazon rainforest to British Columbia’s local waters. Whether you need eye-catching images of stunning animals that live in the deep sea or high up in the tropical canopy, or peculiar and strange creatures that we rarely have the opportunity to view, we can help you find compelling photos to enhance your content.
If you can’t find what you’re looking for, please contact our media team.
Find a wide variety of animal species in our photo library, ranging from whales, dolphins and seals, to scarlet ibises, green anacondas, caimans and tropical butterflies.
