You can also see the famous otters, Mei and Kira getting fed and swimming around, as well as their GIANT Disney level line to see them! Upon opening, everyone rushes towards the otters and starts to get in line. There is a policeman who guards the otter viewing area, and a timer goes off every minute. They let in 5-10 people to view the otters for 1 minute, then you have to move on and let a new group get the 1st row view. You can still view them during parts of the line while you're waiting for your turn, but the line can get a few hours long, and you will still get just 1 minute with the front row view of the otters.

You can also see some very rare 'living fossils' in this video, including horseshoe crabs, lungfish, and nautiluses among others. The nautiluses are particularly unique as they are difficult to keep in captivity and even more difficult to breed. Toba has been successfully breeding them since 1988, the 1st aquarium to do so, and has shared their breeding techniques with other aquariums. They also have the oldest nautilus in captivity.

Some other cute animals I enjoyed seeing were some little puffers with very cute faces, and bright blue crustaceans!

Toba also has other unique marine mammals, including Finless Porpoises, and the Commerson's Dolphin, both very rare to see in an aquarium. While these animals looked healthy, I observed the porpoises and dolphins had small tanks, especially for animals that were very active, and they lacked toys or enrichment inside their tanks. Neither were used in any type of show either (another form of enrichment). At least they were not alone and had others to socialize with.

They also have a dugong and manatees, which while they had small tanks had enrichment in the form of other animals and fresh lettuce to snack on as they pleased.

Seeing some animals having such lavish conditions, and other needing more space and enrichment, I hope Toba will eventually use the resources they are bringing in from the otters to increase the quality of life of all their animals.

また、大人気のカワウソ、メイとキラの餌やりや泳ぐ姿、そして彼らを見るための「ディズニー級」の超長い行列もご紹介します。開館と同時に皆がカワウソエリアへ一斉に走り、列を作り始めます。カワウソ観覧エリアには警備員が立ち、1分ごとにタイマーが鳴ります。5～10人のグループが最前列でカワウソを1分間観覧したら、次のグループと交代します。待っている間も遠目には見えますが、列が数時間になることもあり、もらえる最前列での観覧時間はたったの1分なんです。

さらにこの動画では、カブトガニ、シーラカンス、オウムガイなど、とても珍しい「生きている化石」たちも見られます。特にオウムガイは飼育が難しく、繁殖はさらに困難です。鳥羽水族館は1988年に世界で初めてその繁殖に成功し、その技術を他館にも提供しています。また、飼育下では世界最高齢のオウムガイもここで見られます。

他にも、可愛らしい顔をしたフグや、鮮やかな青色をした甲殻類など、私が楽しんだ可愛い生き物たちも登場します。

鳥羽水族館には、スナメリ（小型のイルカ）や、コマッコウ（カマイルカの仲間）など、他の水族館では非常に珍しい海生哺乳類もいます。どちらも健康的に見えましたが、観察した限りでは、特に活発な彼らにとっては水槽が小さく感じられ、中におもちゃなどの環境エンリッチメントもありませんでした。ショーにも参加していないようです（これも刺激の一種です）。少なくとも、社会性を満たせる仲間が一緒にいるのは良かったです。

ジュゴンやマナティーも飼育されています。水槽は大きくはありませんが、仲間がいたり、好きな時に食べられるレタスが用意されるなど、別の形での刺激はありました。
