A sea lion is seen at Vancouver Aquarium in Vancouver, Canada, Aug. 25, 2014. Vancouver Aquarium, Canada's pre-eminent marine science centre, was granted the 10 Best Readers' Choice Award, sponsored by USA TODAY, as part of a voter-selected list of North America's top aquariums. Then earlier this month, the Aquarium was a winner of Trip Advisor's 2014 Travelers' Choice Award, earning the title of one of the world's best aquariums by the travel website's reviewers. The Vancouver Aquarium was the only organization in Canada that was granted each of these designations. (Xinhua/Sergei Bachlakov)
