Discover the truth about the much-misunderstood shark; the plight of the endangered sea turtle; the remarkable lives of seahorses and countless more surprising facts about these and other incredible creatures.
NEW!- Turtle Sanctuary
Visit our brand new refuge for endangered freshwater turtles, the latest in a Europe-wide network of breeding facilities for these strange and exotic animals... many of which have been pushed to the brink of extinction.
See a whole host of different species of freshwater turtles including Hugo - a pig nosed turtle we re-homed from Edinburgh and 100 baby Mississippi Map Turtles that needed somewhere to live after being confiscated by custom officials at Heathrow.
Gaze in awe at our loggerhead turtle, Antiopi who became a permanent resident from Zakynthos, Greece after suffering serious injuries from a collision with a boat.
