Sea Lion Show

A sea lion show is held daily at the Live Show Pool. Sea lions impress the audience with their dynamic jump to toss the ball hung high up in the air, or catching the hoops thrown by the handler with the head. The talented sea lions’ performances are definitely stunning.

The Star Animal in Miyajimarine : Finless Porpoise

Swimming gracefully in the tank on the first floor are the finless porpoises, the star animal of this aquarium. They are called “the whale in the Seto Inland Sea” because there used to live many of them in the Seto Inland Sea. It looks like a dolphin without a fin. They have cute smiley faces and friendly enough to come close to people when they look into the tank.
