Takaoka kojo(Old castle) Park Zoo


Today, I want to talk about "Takaoka kojo(Old castle) Park Zoo". The zoo is in Takaoka city, Toyama. Takaoka city is my hometown. The zoo is a 10-minute walk to my high school. I have visited there countless time since my childhood.
The zoo is very small and charge-free. There are 50 kinds of animals in the zoo.
Popular animals in the zoo is "Humboldt Penguin" and "Flamingo". When I was a kindergarten child, I sketched "Humboldt Penguin" and "Flamingo".
In 2002, 2 American Miniature Horse got into the zoo. They enjoy high popularity today.
I love this small zoo very much.

Asahiyama Zoo


Today, I want to talk about "Asahiyama Zoo".
I think that you may know about the zoo. The zoo is in Asahikawa city, Hokkaido.
I have visited there in the second year of the high school, but I stayed there only 1hour. So, I couldn't watch all animals in Asahiyama Zoo. In this blog, I write about animals I want to watch someday.
I want to watch "Penguin walk". In this zoo, penguins walk on the snowy street in front of the audience at about the same time each day. This year, penguin walk began on 18th of December. I will be there and watch penguin walk by my graduation.

Toba Aquarium


Today, I want to talk about "Toba Aquarium".
The aquarium is in Toba city, Mie.
I have visited there in second year of high school, so the next day I have visited "Shima Marine Land".
In Toba Aquarium, there are "Dugong dugon" and "Trichechus manatus". They are sirenian and model mermaid. In Japan, the aquarium only breeds couple of Dugong dugon.
There are "Finless porpoise" too. "Finless porpoise" is small whale and they live in Seto Inland Sea and Ise Bey.
They are very cute, so I couldn't help buying their soft toy. I want to go there again.

Shima Marine Land


Today, I want to talk about "Shima Marine Land". The aquarium is in Shima city, Mie.
I have visited there in the second year of high school. I visited there because we can watch "ocean sunfish" in Shima Mrine Land.
I had never watch ocean sunfish with my own eyes. In Japan, we can watch ocean sunfish at only ten aquariums. Breeding of ocean sunfish is difficult because ocean sunfish is not good at eating and swimming.
I felt at ease watching ocean sunfish.
This aquarium is small but you may enjoy there.
