Aonyx cinerea is a genus of Mustelidae. The body length of aonyx cinerea is 41 ~ 64 cm, the tail length is 25 ~ 35 cm. They will get stress out easily if they do not get in the water frequently, so they must be in a environment where they can bathe. It named,”Kotsume Kawaiso” in Japanese because “Kotsume” means,”small nail” in Japanese, and aonyx cinerea also has small nails. They are very active and friendly! Currently, it is also an animal that is regarded as an extinction crisis, and "Kotsumeito" is the one of the place where able to touch and see aonyx cinerea closely!
You are not able to touch baby aonyx cinerea, but you can see it closely from the cage. The two bottom pictures are when foreigners playing with adult aonyx cinerea at that time. When one was trying to feed a food, aonyx cinerea will extend a cute little hand from the cage for food! The snack ticket is included to the course, so it is possible to give a snack to your favorite animal once!
Look at this adorable face!! So cute!! It will heal you!
After you played half of the time with aonyx cinerea, let`s play with sugar glider which has a characteristic of is a leaping big eyes or hedgehog. The sugar glider is said to be lonely and nervous character, but they will fawn upon to people when they get used to it !
