Tortoise walk@ Nodai Museum: Jan. 26, 2013

It was a cold day. I had a walk to Food and Agriculture Museum of Tokyo University of Agriculture (Nodai Museum). The museum has aquarium (a garden) and there are various plants and animals from Africa, Asia, Australia and the Americas.

Various monkeys in the cages often made sounds to ask foods. Chameleon and other lizards were staying silently just under heating lights and getting warm.


Today’s surprise was an exercise of a tortoise. The tortoise was nearly a meter long. It usually stays in a small cage, but sometimes has walks in the plaxce.


It attracted visitors including a baby. Most people stayed more than 10 minutes around the tortoise.

An open air market was held in front of the museum. Organic foods attracted local visitors.
