Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan

The Chinese giant salamander is considered to be a "living fossil". Although protected under Chinese law and CITES Appendix I, the wild population has declined by more than an estimated 80% since the 1950s.

it is extensively farmed and sometimes bred, although many of the salamanders on the farms are caught in the wild. It has been listed as one of the top-10 "focal species" in 2008 by the Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered project.

It is considered critically endangered in the wild due to habitat loss, pollution, and overcollection, as it is considered a delicacy and used in traditional Chinese medicine. On farms in central China.

Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, also known as kaiyukan,is a mesmerizing aquatic wonderland that offers an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.

Osaka Aquarium is one of the most beautiful aquariums I have visited. the people are so friendly and helpful and there is so much to see (my favorite were the Otters) It’s very affordable and you can even get a package that includes a ferry ride after the aquarium. Everything in there is so beautiful and they have many different eateries and a ferries wheel right outside. I would definitely go back!
