White sturgeon (Sinosturio transmontanus) are among the many species of sturgeon you can find within our Unsalted Seas gallery.

White sturgeon are endemic to the eastern Pacific estuaries of North America, with some populations being landlocked within inland rivers. This species is anadromous, and regularly travels up and down the river ways for breeding and feeding habits. Dams have posed a significant challenge for white sturgeon as they can inhibit their ability to migrate.

Two new animal posts back to back?? That’s nearly unheard of!

We are once again elated to introduce Mr. T, the Ouachita map turtle. Donated as a pet, Mr. T will now be calling the duck pond on the second floor home. Ouachita map turtles are endemic to North America and can be found right here in Minnesota. Make sure to stop in soon and meet Mr. T!

Chickens at the aquarium..? More likely than you’d think. 🐓🐟

We are so excited to introduce our newest members to the all star ambassador team, Penny (gray), Poppy (buff), and Perdy (white). These young hens will be housed permanently behind the scenes, but will make guest appearances at camps, tours, and other outreach programs. They will also help support our sustainability mission by providing eggs for other aquarium residents. We can’t wait to share our new avian ambassadors with you soon!

It’s officially salamander season in the northland. Amphibians such as the Eastern Tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum) often start their breeding season before the snow has completely thawed. They emerge from their underground borrows and migrate to the nearest suitable body of water. There, males will deposit s***m capsules for females to collect and use to fertilize eggs.
