Meet Our New Creature!
The world’s last species of its kind is diving into a second chance at survival thanks to cutting-edge tracking technology and dedicated rehab and release efforts right here in Kansas City.
In addition to the new babies that arrived, the Aquarium will also be holding a small group back from the initial group that graduated in May 2025 to raise until they are two years old so they can be fitted with acoustic transmitters. This technology will help researchers understand where the paddlefish are going and how they leave the reservoir to get to the fast-moving rivers and streams. This intel will be vital in the work to save these fish from extinction.
The paddlefish are on display in the freshwater area at SEA LIFE Kansas City which is operated by Merlin Entertainments.
