Two finless porpoises were born at the aquarium this spring, a female on May 20th and a male on June 6th. The female is being hand-raised.

This is a very late update, but I thought I should mention that the baby finless porpoise that was being hand-raised apparently didn't make it. In other news, the aquarium saw the birth of a third baby fishing cat in July of 2022.

I agree. It just looks like a deep pool. I wish they would make it wider, but I don't think that's possible, seeing that their aquarium is already pretty up to its maximum size, and because that's a very old aquarium, compared to others. There haven't been much renovations, too.
 
The Toba aquarium in general seemed magnificent to me, but precisely the facilities for marine mammals are horrible: small, ugly, extremely simple, boring, without stimulation for the animals. they can only spin in the water, nothing more...

The Facilities look extremely old, and it doesn't look like it had a renewal for decades. Even the touch tank was made of concrete and pipes.
 
A South American sea lion (Otaria flavescens) pup was born back in August. A few days ago the aquarium announced that the pup's name is Mugi.

Kokoro, the East Asian finless porpoise (Neophocaena sunameri) calf, also recently celebrated its 1-year birthday:
