Otter Finger Touch Exhibit, Keikyu Aburatsubo Marine Park Aquarium, Misaki, Miura, Kanagawa, Japan
|
In the "Doughnuts Sea," which is a huge, round tank, 3m-long sand tiger sharks swim around leisurely. You will feel like you are inside a submarine tunnel. You can see an adorable dolphin and seal performance in the "Fantasium," an all-weather indoor theater. There are 37 Rockhopper Penguins kept on Penguin Island, and two thirds of them were born in this aquarium. The cute baby penguins are highly popular among visitors. The aquarium was awarded the Koga prize for its breeding activities. The Koga prize is the most prestigious prize given to zoos and aquariums in Japan. There are also many other corners, including Dolphin Pool, Seal Island, Forest, where otters live, and Miura Nature Building. Miura Port nearby is famous for the landing of tuna catches, and the "Log Terrace" restaurant in the Aquarium offers various types of tuna dishes.
Otter Finger Touch, Fish Catch exhibit
Otters are Asian small-clawed otters which are the smallest and cutest in the world. In the exhibit called “Otter Finger Touch, Fish Catch” holes are installed into the otter’s habitat’s glass. By holding out the great scent of Wakasagi Smelt you can entice an otter to the glass were it will reach out through the hole and grab your finger. It’s like visiting the cutest prison or off-track betting parlor in the universe!
