The only place in the world exhibiting four different species of baby sea turtles!

Since 2017, there has been successful hatching each year of four species of sea turtles at Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Hawksbill sea turtles, loggerhead sea turtles, Galapagos green turtles and the green sea turtles all successfully hatched at the aquarium. This is the only aquarium in the world where you can see four different species of baby sea turtles together.

This year, the first confirmed egg laying took place on March 26th, and afterwards each species laid their eggs up to eight times. See the baby sea turtles that hatched this year on display in the Sea Turtle Rearing Pool next to the Sea Turtle Pool.
(Individuals of the four species of sea turtles that bred in 2017 can be observed in the Sea Turtle Pool A.)
