“Toxic Ten gives visitors the opportunity to discover more about these dangerous animals and their fascinating lives.

“The daily talks and encounter sessions also enable our staff to talk about the threats many of them face in the wild and what we can all do to help conserve wildlife both globally and locally,” she added.

Located beneath the Forth Rail Bridge, Deep Sea World is Scotland’s national aquarium home to over 2,000 creatures – ranging from seahorses and stingrays to seals and sharks.

· ‘Toxic Ten’ is on daily from October 8 - 23 at Deep Sea World.
