Like so many
humans, I have an inexplicable weakness for turtles.
Especially sea turtles (my favorite Finding Nemo character? Dudes, it's Crush, of
course!).
Delighted to hear that a new exhibit
is coming to Camden’s Adventure Aquarium ~ Turtles:Journey of Survival, January 14-March 24. The limited-time (just over two months, then it's gone) exhibit explores the astonishing survival of turtles & tortoises over
millions & millions of years – outliving dinosaurs & cataclysmic natural disasters!
Attendees can view a range of land & aquatic turtles, from no bigger than a postage stamp to one weighing in at 450 pounds, more than
20 in all. Live shows & special
appearances help guests learn how to help conserve vulnerable species of
turtles.
Guests will also learn about
the more peculiar habits of certain species of turtles. Who knew that one species uses a
high-pitched screech to scare off predators & why the Painted Wood turtle
dances for its food!
The
Adventure Aquarium has paired up with Stone Harbor, NJ’s Wetlands Institute to help raise money & awareness
for the Northern Diamondback Terrapins, a local turtle species that is at risk.
And while you're at the aquarium be sure to check out two of the aquarium’s newest residents - two recently
rescued Loggerhead Sea turtle.
The exhibit is only there until mid-March, so don't be a slow poke - get to the Adventure Aquarium quick like a bunny. And tell 'em Crush sent you!
