Spot A Real Rescued Sea Turtle

Come face to flipper with real rescued sea turtle Neptune in our Ocean Exhibit!. Turtles are ancient reptiles that have been around for over 200 million years! They shared our planet with the earliest dinosaurs.

There are over 300 species of turtle in our oceans and rivers today and some are critically endangered! They are hunted for their beautiful shells and eggs, and often caught in fishing nets or more destructive fishing practices.
