Dwayne at the Zoo

I am a nurse shark living at Stingray Bay at the Toronto Zoo. My hobbies include swimming, eating, and admiring my own fin.

Don't forget to visit torontozoo.com to see what my buddies are up to all year. Now back to packing.

My last day at the zoo. It’s so hard to say goodbye. Luckily, I live in water, so nobody can see me cry.

Last chance to see me at the zoo this weekend. I’ll miss everyone, but I’ll miss @garnetfraser, @TheHaj, and @patheimathos the most.

I’m only here until October 12th! I’m going to miss my stingray friends, and I know they won’t write, because they don’t have fingers.

I love gorillas. I love babies. I love naming contests. This Baby Gorilla Naming Contest is really doing it for me. Torontozoo.com

I am what’s known as a bottom-dweller. I really, really love floor. Now back to my regularly-scheduled bottom-dwelling.

You could name the newest addition to the gorilla family! My pick is Dwayne. What, it's a good name! Visit torontozoo.com for details.

I just realized that my skin is a lot smoother to the touch than most sharks. And I don’t even moisturize!

My close personal friends, the polar bears, need some help. Visit polartweets.com.

Today is my 12th birthday! Nurse sharks live to be around 25, so mid-life crisis, here I come!

Shark-inspired Speedo suits on sale at the zoo-venir shop. I just love stuff that’s inspired by me!

Saw a kid with a really hilarious T-shirt on today. You know who you are.

@iRicci17 Sorry that I was snoozing when you came to visit. A shark needs his beauty sleep.

[Dwayne at the Zoo @DwayneTheShark]

I never wear white after Labour Day. Mostly because I wear gray every day.

Join me at the Toronto Zoo this long weekend for surprises and general shark-themed awesomeness.

@kylafilmgirl I didn't realize the tooth fairy was handing out seafood now. This is a very exciting thought!

[Dwayne at the Zoo @DwayneTheShark]

@iTrivial I enjoyed seeing you too. It made my day. That, and feeding time.

[Dwayne at the Zoo @DwayneTheShark]

I called a stingray “pancake-face” today. He’s not talking to me now. Stingrays can so not take a joke.

[Dwayne at the Zoo @DwayneTheShark]

I lost a tooth today. Luckily, there are thousands where that came from.

Today’s agenda: Swim around, bottom feed, swim around. Repeat until tomorrow
