Underwater World Langkawi

Underwater World Langkawi is home to over 200 species of marine and freshwater fishes from around the world ranging from rock hopper penguins, giant rays, harbour seals, sharks and the enormous Amazonian arapaima – the biggest freshwater fish in the world. Unique to Underwater World Langkawi is the gigantic 15-meter long walk-through tunnel consisting of 500,000 litre seawater which houses many big fishes and sea creatures including the Giant Green Turtle.

The complex is divided into three sections: Tropical Rainforest, Temperate and Sub-Antarctic.

Tropical Rainforest

• Marmoset in action

This section takes visitors through a journey to the heart of the Amazon River. Visitors will be able to see rainforest inhabitants such as the Anaconda and Marmoset. Among the tropical fish on display here are the Pacu, Knifefish, Temoleh, Giant Gouramy and various species of Arowanas. In addition, visitors can observe Mute Swans, Flamingos and the playful Mandarin ducks. Ground and flight birds flutter freely for observation in an environment close to their natural habitat.

Temperate

• Feeding time for the fur seals!

Southern Fur Seals are seen here at play and at feeding times. These Southern Fur Seals are social mammals and are found from Southern Peru (Paracas Peninsula) to Cape Horn on the Pacific side and northward to Southern Brazil on the Atlantic side. They are also found in the Falkland Islands, Staten Island and Escondida Island. They can dive to depths of up to 170m for up to 7 minutes. While resting at the surface they spend a considerable time grooming and may assume many poses, including waving both hind flippers.

A walk through the 8–meter underwater penguin Tunnel will enable visitors to observe the Blackfooted (African) penguins swimming around in an environment very similar to their natural environment. This area is fully equipped with a life support system that adheres to international standards set by the US Agriculture department.

Sub-Antarctic

These penguins are called “Rock hoppers” because they jump from rock to rock. They feed on crustaceans, squids and small fish. These penguins are characterised by their yellow feathers or “eyebrows” on their heads, forming a drooping crest. Laying eggs only twice a year, these penguins are threatened by natural and introduced predators, fishing, egg collecting and pollution.
