Cherry, our FIFA World Cup predicting octopus, is back and ready to make her next big call! 🐙⚽

This time, she’ll be choosing between South Africa and South Korea ahead of their opening match.

As part of Cherry’s enrichment programme, she explores prey puzzles hidden in jars, tubes, and boxes, engages with tactile toys, and takes part in interactive keeper sessions. These activities encourage her natural hunting instincts, problem-solving skills, and curiosity while keeping her mind active and engaged. 💙

So, who are you backing for the win?

Happy Father's Day to all the incredible dads out there! 💙

Fatherhood comes in many forms and in the ocean, some dads go above and beyond to help the next generation thrive.

From seahorse fathers who carry and give birth to their young, to fish dads who fiercely guard their eggs, the marine world is filled with extraordinary examples of parental care. These fascinating fathers remind us that love, protection, and dedication can look a little different beneath the waves.

Today, we celebrate all the dads who nurture, protect, teach, and inspire – both above and below the surface.

Ever wondered what makes coral reefs so amazing? 🪸

Coral reefs are like giant underwater apartment buildings, home to thousands of tiny animals called polyps! Under a microscope, polyps look a lot like miniature sea anemones, and that's no coincidence. They're actually related to sea anemones and jellyfish, making them underwater cousins. 🪼

Did you know? Reefs are made up of both hard and soft corals. Their biggest differences are their skeletons, how much light they need, and the strength of the ocean currents they prefer.
