Port Of Nagoya Public Aquarium

North hall: A 3.5-billion-year journey Animals return to the ocean Approximately 3.5 billion years ago, single-celled organisms emerged in the oceans, becoming the earliest life forms on Earth. Countless species evolved along their own paths, with some migrating to land and evolving into giant dinosaurs that once dominated the terrestrial realm. However, they eventually became extinct. Later, mammals dominated the land. Around 50 million years ago, some mammals returned to the ocean, their natural habitat. These animals evolved into modern whales. To adapt to underwater life, they developed streamlined bodies, forming the graceful shapes we see today. This exhibition will chronologically guide visitors into the world of cetaceans. These marine creatures have adapted to underwater life, developing remarkable intelligence, and are said to hold a terrestrial status comparable to humans. South hall: Journey to Antarctica Global journey, encountering diverse life across the five oceans The vast ocean covers approx. 70% of the earth's surface, featuring diverse temperatures and climates that enable organisms to adapt to various environments and continuously evolve.
