PORT OF NAGOYA PUBLIC AQUARIUM

Pig and Bok choy

While she is swimming....

Her name is Pig-nosed Turtle. Though her swimming is slow, she can move through the water with grace.

Other fish often reach food before she does, but don't worry. Her zookeeper keeps some especially for her.

This turtle has a nose like a pig. Pig-nosed turtle, isn't that a good name?

This is just a small tank, but….

For the anemone fish, it’s their whole galaxy.

He looks like Disney’s famous “Nemo”, but the Anemone Fish is not a Clownfish. Gazing into the tank, you feel as if you are living in a galaxy.

A Brief Glimpse of the Dolphins

Take a careful look!

Their swimming is so fast. Now they are right in front of you, and then, they are gone in a second. Their bodies are beautifully streamlined. If you are able to take a succesful picture, take a real close look at it. Just before they leave, they take a look at you. They are communicating with you.

The Long Tooth Grouper, hight graded fish

I love to watch him - he is soooo graceful.

Am I only one in the aquarium who feels like saying "...looks yummy!"? The delicate movements of his fins are mesmerizing.

It's a Sea Turtle's paradise

Private Home with a Private Beach

The huge tank and the quiet beach are equipped for the Sea Turtles as if they are living in the great outdoors. If you are lucky, you may see them laying their eggs. There are so many predators in the real world that it is not easy to grow as big as they have grown.
