Rescued Seal Pups
|
|
Superman (photo below) is still one of the fastest learners of the group. She is now completely able to feed herself! She still has seal pox, but she is quite active, very happy, and has a great appetite.
|
Dangermouse, Spiderman and Robin have learnt to feed themselves and have put on lots of weight! This means that they don´t have to rely on the Animal Care Team to hand feed them any more, so they can just throw the fish in the pool for them!
All three were moved to the outside resident pool in mid August, where they will learn to socialise with the adult seals. It will be good for them to get used to swimming in the deeper water and being outside in the elements too. The others will soon learn to copy them and won´t be far behind!

Wonderwoman, Batman (photo below) and Mystique are still learning to eat the fish underwater - they like to chew their fish thoroughly but are still learning how to swallow them properly (and not sideways!).
