King penguins are the second largest penguin on earth. They live on several islands in the subantarctic area, including Macquarie Island in the Pacific Ocean.

Fairy penguins, also known as southern little penguins, inhabit the western and southeastern coasts of the southern island of New Zealand.

Snares crested penguins are very unusual, nesting in open coastal forests on small islets around New Zealand's South Island.

Galápagos penguins are the northernmost penguin species and are endemic to the equatorial Galápagos archipelago.

Join our Turtle Rescue Network to help rescue stranded sea turtles along the Western Cape coastline.

Between February and March, "turtle stranding season" sees many hatchlings stranded on Western Cape beaches. Sub-adult and adult turtles are also found washed ashore. The Turtle Network Points across the Western Cape are equipped to help these stranded turtles.

Cape clawless otters are a unique and mischievous presence in the V&A Waterfront. Now, they are known as "urban otters" as they have created for themselves a unique position in the Waterfront ecosystem.

Bob is a turtle with a special story. Rescued eight years ago, Bob has recovered from severe injury and infection - a direct result of confusing plastic bags and balloons for food and becoming too weak to survive in the wild. It has only been through luck and the hard work of the Two Oceans Aquarium Foundation's turtle conservation team that Bob is now on the verge of returning to the wild, but this doesn't mean our mission ends - we all need to work together to protect Bob's home: the ocean.

From caring for hundreds of loggerhead turtle hatchlings to bringing the ocean’s wonders to under-resourced schools, our work is impossible without your help. By donating, you are protecting the future of endangered species, preserving the welfare of local wildlife, and instilling a lifelong love of the ocean in young minds. Please consider making a small contribution to a great cause.

The Two Oceans Aquarium offers a job shadow programme for Grade 9 to 12 learners. This programme is intended to give youths that would like to one day work in the marine science environment, marine conservation or an attraction like the Aquarium an idea of what to expect from their future career.
