Tokyo Friends of the Zoo

Animals and Zoos
Spring 2012 issue (No.686)

We look back at the history of Inokashira Park Zoo which will celebrate its 70th anniversary in May.
We will also introduce the highlights of the park.
From Tokyo Sea Life Park, we will show you the process of collecting and raising fine spotted jaw fish, where the male protects the eggs in his mouth.
