He is receiving some special treatments at the zoo and everyone hope that he would be able to get back into the sea.

The Ainu word for “azarashi” (earless seal) is “Tokkari” and the center name being the same imply the sheltering and conservation of earless seals at the center. All the visitors can observe the natural behaviors of these seals and they are also given the opportunity to take part in close-up interactive activities with them. so, the center provides conservation facilities for earless seals who have been injured or caught in fishing nets. This conservation center is one of the most important marine animal conservation facilities in Japan.

It is not a secret that day by day marine animal population of the word is getting low in number due to many reasons and mainly because of human deeds. Hundreds of innocent animals are suffering from these inhuman acts and if we do not take any measure to stop these human behaviors, surely we would soon have to say goodbye to flora and fauna on earth.
