Nibbles: Hungry Shark

We loved Nibbles the shark, but if you walk back a bit there is also a manatee dressed as Marilyn Monroe, which is adorable!

[Kelsey Ketchum, 01/21/2024]

The manatee is mimicking Monroe's famous subway grate pose from the 1955 film "The Seven Year Itch."

Nibbles: Hungry Shark Plus One

Nibbles was great, but right behind him was was another shark, toothless and broken, that was amazing.

[Lara Werning, 10/20/2019]

Nibbles survived Hurricane Irma in 2017 surprisingly unscathed. His companion shark, mounted on an old trailer, needs a paint job and expensive dental reconstruction.
