Sea turtles are large and impressive creatures belonging to the family of sea reptiles. There are several species of sea turtle in the Park. Two of them are: the herbivore Green Turtle and the Hawksbill Turtle, which eats sea anemones, sea cucumbers,



, sponges and mollusks. The turtle pool is divided in two. One part contains adult turtles, mostly females. A sandy island was built in the center. Here, in breeding season, eggs are laid which will hatch into baby turtles. In this pool there are also Kurl's stingrays, relatives of the shark, belonging to the family of elasmobranchii (having no bones, only cartilage).
The other part of the pool is reserved for the young turtles, all born within the Park . Turtle feedings take place each day at 12:30.
