STAR Eco Station

Swim down to Eco and meet some ofour newest animal members. The Ecofamily recently took in four very cutebaby Albino chinese Soft shell turtles.Meet Betty, Vanna, Barry, and Jaleel!our new cute critters are enjoying theirnew home in our oceania room, withmany of our other freshwater friends. We received our baby softshell turtlesfrom Fish and Wildlife (USFW) whenthey were confiscated nearby at LAxwhere they were being smuggled intothe country. Many animals are illegallysold and transported all over the world.Smuggling is the second biggest threatto animal species, next to habitat de-struction. Luckily for them, they nowhave a forever home with us at Eco!They can be seen gliding through theirtank just like graceful sea turtles; these

golden yellow soft shells are an incred-ible sight to see!

The chinese Soft shell turtle is listedas vulnerable on the IUcn Red List,which means they’re almost endan-gered! These young hatchlings areonly about 2 inches long, but canquickly reach about 1 foot in length!That may sound big, but they’re actually one of the world’s smallestgrowing soft shells!

Another one of our wonderful rescuesthat has recently began calling the EcoStation home is a beautiful Jungle car-pet Python! This spectacular serpent,which is indigenous to the forests ofAustralia, was previously owned as apet and was surrendered to us. Their

stunning black and gold stripes helpthem to camouflage with the jungle foliage and make them a supreme predator. currently this youngster iswithout a name and we would like toenlist the help of yoU to come up withone! If you come up with a good ideafor a name, you can stop by Eco Station on Sunday, April 2nd, for children’s Earth Day and submit youridea along with a small donation! Alldonations go directly toward the careand feeding of all of the rescuedwildlife that call the Eco Station home!

So come meet these remarkable rescues and learn more about theamazing animals of the STAR Eco Station!
