26 Mar Where in the World is Yoshi?

“Yoshi the loggerhead turtle arrived in Cape Town in July 1997 on a Japanese fishing vessel as a small 2-kilogram juvenile with a very distinctive injury on the side of her shell. The captain of the fishing vessel contacted the Two Oceans Aquarium and asked for help.” After spending 20 years as Queen of the Exhibit, Yoshi was released with a Wildlife Computers SPOT tag on December 16, 2017. Since then, Yoshi has traveled over 35,000 km. Learn more about Yoshi’s journey.
