Tá eolas suimiúil fúthu sa treoir Ainmhithe A-Z. Athraíonn na taispeántais ó am go ham agus mar sin d’fhéadfadh go mbeadh ainmhithe luaite sa treoir nach bhfuil sa taispeántas a thuilleadh. Anuas air sin, d’fhéadfadh gur speicis dhúchasacha cuid acu nach bhfuil i Mara Beo.
Asian Short-Clawed Otter
Scientific Name : Aonyx cinereus
Status : Vulnerable (IUCN)
On view at Aquarium in : Asian Otters
The Asian short-clawed otter is the smallest of all otter species, known for its dexterous forepaws and playful, social nature. Highly intelligent, these otters live in close-knit family groups, often seen grooming, playing, and hunting together. Their remarkable adaptability and cooperative behaviour make them one of the most fascinating mammals in their native habitats.
Axolotl
Scientific Name : Ambystoma mexicanum
Status : Critically Endangered (IUCN)
On view at Aquarium in : Axolotl Bubble Tank
The axolotl is a fascinating amphibian native to the ancient lake complex of Xochimilco in Mexico City. Known for its extraordinary regenerative abilities, the axolotl can regrow limbs, spinal cord, and even parts of its heart and brain. Unlike most amphibians, axolotls exhibit neoteny, meaning they retain their larval characteristics, such as external gills, and live a fully aquatic life throughout adulthood. Sadly, the species is critically endangered due to habitat destruction and pollution.
Banggai Cardinalfish
Scientific Name : Pterapogon kauderni
Status : Endangered (IUCN)
On view at Aquarium in : Red Sea Tank
The Banggai cardinalfish is a small, striking fish known for its distinctive black stripes and graceful, long fins. Native to the Banggai Archipelago in Indonesia, this species thrives in shallow coral reefs, seagrass beds, and sheltered lagoons. Unfortunately, the Banggai cardinalfish is endangered due to overfishing and habitat loss, primarily driven by its popularity in the aquarium trade.
Black Pacu
Scientific Name : Colossoma macropomum
Status : Least Concern (IUCN)
On view at Aquarium in : Amazon Waterfall
Despite its powerful appearance and human-like teeth, the black pacu is a peaceful herbivore, with a diet primarily made up of fruits and nuts. Native to the rivers and floodplains of South America, this impressive gentle giant plays a vital role in its ecosystem by helping to disperse seeds as it feasts on fallen forest bounty. Locally known as the Tambaqui, the black pacu is an essential part of the riverine food chain.
Blind Mexican Cavefish
Scientific Name : Astyanax mexicanus
Status : Least Concern (IUCN)
On view at Aquarium in : Weird & Wonderful
The blind Mexican cavefish is a remarkable species that has adapted to life in complete darkness in the underground caves of Mexico. Over generations, these fish have lost both their pigmentation and eyesight, relying instead on heightened senses of touch and vibration to navigate their shadowy world. Despite their lack of vision, they thrive in these isolated environments, demonstrating the power of adaptation.
Chocolate Chip Sea Star
Scientific Name : Protoreaster nodosus
Status : Not Evaluated (IUCN)
On view at Aquarium in : Red Sea Tank
The chocolate chip sea star, also known as the horned sea star, is a striking marine species native to the Indo-Pacific region. Named for the dark, cone-shaped nodules on its body that resemble chocolate chips, this sea star is a popular choice in marine aquariums for its unique appearance and relatively hardy nature. Found in shallow waters, this species plays a key role in the health of coral reef ecosystems.
Common Octopus
Scientific Name : Octopus vulgaris
Status : Least Concern (IUCN)
On view at Aquarium in : Off Display
The common octopus is renowned for its intelligence, problem-solving abilities, and remarkable adaptability. Often called the ‘escape artist’ of the sea, this cephalopod is capable of solving puzzles, navigating mazes, and even using tools. With a highly developed nervous system and an impressive ability to camouflage, the common octopus is one of the ocean's most fascinating creatures.
Gentoo Penguin
Scientific Name : Pygoscelis papua
Status : Least Concern (IUCN)
On view at Aquarium in : Polar Penguins
The gentoo penguin is easily recognisable by the white stripe that runs across the top of its head and its bright orange-red bill. Known for their incredible speed in the water and sociable nature, gentoos inhabit the cold coastal waters of the Southern Hemisphere. These penguins are agile hunters, capable of deep dives in pursuit of their prey, and are often seen in large, bustling colonies.
Great Owl Butterfly
Scientific Name : Caligo memnon
Status : Not Evaluated (IUCN)
On view at Aquarium in : Butterfly Oasis
The great owl butterfly is a large and striking species native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. Named for the prominent eye-like patterns on its wings that resemble the eyes of an owl, these butterflies use this unique feature as a defense mechanism to deter predators. With their slow, graceful flight and impressive wingspan, they are a remarkable sight in their natural habitat.
