This #EndangeredSpeciesDay, we’re spotlighting our newest exhibition, Imagine Wild: Mountain Yellow-legged Frog. Step into a story of resilience, restoration and hope as you explore what it takes to rebuild a healthy ecosystem for these critically endangered amphibians.
Moments that make us say “GPwhOa!” 🐙 Have you spotted our #GiantPacificOctopus exploring its habitat? Keep a sharp eye as this clever #cephalopod is a master of disguise, blending into rocks and squeezing into tiny hidden spaces. #octopus

Wonder how seahorses get a grip? It’s all thanks to their prehensile tail — a unique, flexible adaptation that lets them anchor themselves to seagrass, mangrove roots and coral, keeping them steady even in strong currents.
Happy #WorldOceanDay! 🌊 From swirling schools of #sardines to our lovely Loggerhead Sea Turtle, our Open Ocean habitat highlights the incredible life found in one of Earth’s largest ecosystems.
Through decades of habitat restoration and collaborative conservation efforts, this immersive experience invites you to imagine a future where the Mountain Yellow-legged Frog can thrive once again. Every species has a story worth saving. Come experience theirs.
ATTN: anyone who was obsessed with sharks as a kid and never recovered 🦈 💙 Tickets are now on sale for Oceans at Night: Sharks! Join us for this 21+ after-hours night on July 9 for some sea-riously good vibes 🌊

Even coral gets the munchies 🪸This #TongueCoral might look like a rock, but it’s very much alive! Tongue #Coral is made up of tons of tiny polyps, and each polyp has a single opening that functions as its mouth. That mouth is surrounded by tentacles that help capture food!
🐧 Make your visit to #BirchAquarium even more extraordinary with a Behind-the-Scenes Penguin Tour! Discover what makes Little Blue Penguins so unique, learn how you can help protect them and go behind the scenes in our Penguin Care & Conservation Center for an up-close look.
