Green Sea Turtle: A Symbol of Resilience
Green sea turtles are gentle giants of the ocean, and the zoo’s resident turtle, "Emerald," has an incredible story of survival. Emerald was rescued after being injured by fishing gear, and now she thrives in a spacious aquarium that mimics her natural habitat.
Her tank is filled with coral structures and sandy areas, where she glides gracefully through the water. Emerald’s diet consists of seaweed, lettuce, and algae, carefully balanced to maintain her health. Zookeepers also monitor her shell and flippers regularly to ensure she remains in top condition.
Emerald has become an ambassador for ocean conservation, helping visitors understand the challenges marine life faces, from plastic pollution to habitat loss. Watching her serene movements and learning her story inspires guests to take action to protect our oceans.
