Special Lecture on Turtles at Kobe Suma Sea World

On April 19, 2026, Kobe Suma Sea World is organizing a special lecture titled "Suma Sea Turtle Talk" as part of the Japanese Association of Zoos and Aquariums' initiative for Care Day. This event aims to promote a deeper understanding of zoos and aquariums, and it coincides with the special day established by the association in 2009 due to the read-aloud association of the date with the word "care."

What You Will Learn

During the lecture, attendees will have the unique opportunity to learn about the characteristics of various turtles housed at the facility, including differences between sea turtles and terrestrial turtles. Participants will also have the chance to observe endangered species like the loggerhead turtle and the Japanese pond turtle up close, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of these fascinating creatures.
