Tokyo Friends of the Zoo

Animals and Zoos
Fall 2019 issue (No.716)

As part of the "30th Anniversary Special of Tokyo Sea Life Park," we will look back on the 30 years from 1989, when the aquarium opened, to 2019, the first year of the Reiwa era.
In particular, we will introduce in detail the special exhibitions and planned exhibitions that have been held so far, as well as the changes in the natural environment around the water.
Furthermore, the magazine also includes an article on the ecology of Bonin Flying Fox the first in 10 years.
