Special Event – "Okinawa Rail: Let's Study and Get to Know!"

Do you know about the Okinawa Rail (Yanbaru Kuina)? These unique birds are found only in the Yanbaru forest in the northern part of Okinawa Island. Sadly, they are classified as an endangered species on the IUCN Red List.

At Okinawa Zoo and Museum, we play a vital role in conserving this rare species. While they were previously kept in one shelter, they are now housed in multiple locations to reduce risks and improve conservation efforts.

Join us for this special event to learn more about Okinawa Rails through interactive workshops and educational panels. You can also support their conservation by purchasing charity items.

✨ Special Exhibition – Only for Two Days!
For two days only (today and tomorrow), you will have a rare chance to see our Okinawa Rails up close! Since they are usually kept off-exhibit, don’t miss this unique opportunity!

📍 Exhibition Times & Location
📅 Location:
Okinawa Zoo & Museum
5-7-1 Goya, Okinawa-city, Okinawa
Ryukyu Archipelago Area

⏰ Exhibition Schedule:
① 10:00–10:50
② 11:00–11:50
③ 13:00–13:50
④ 14:00–14:50
⑤ 15:00–15:50

Don’t miss this special chance to learn about and support the conservation of Okinawa Rails! 🐦🌿

I DON'T WANNA GO BACK! 😱

Okinawa Zoo & Museum is closed every Tuesday. (If Tuesday is a national holiday, we’re open that day but closed on the following Wednesday.)

For our jaguars, Tuesday is also a fasting day—just like in the wild, where carnivores don’t eat every day. On Monday afternoons, they really don’t want to return to their off-exhibit area… maybe because they know what’s coming! 🐆😆

Gift for Chimpanzees

之前女兒節的時候
保育員特別為黑猩猩「可可」準備了小禮物
可可也很認真地品嚐保育員的愛喔～

March 3 was Girl’s Festival in Japan, and our zookeepers prepared a special gift for our chimpanzee girls! 🐵💝 Coco was the first to come and savor the delicious treat. It seems that in their world, too, "bread is better than the song of birds"! 😆🍞
