Update: 22nd July 2012 - Ogogo is currently in the pup´s weaning pool and is still hand feeding from the animal care team but is being taught how to pick his fish up for himself. He enjoys following Oates around the pool and gets especially noisy around feeding time. She currently weighs 13.5 kilos.
Update: 31st July 2012 - Ogogo has recently recovered from a nasty abscess and has been given the all clear by the vets! He now weighs 16kg but is yet to learn how to catch his own fish - Dempsey has been stealing them all! His cute cries have won the hearts of the pup´s interns who have been sneaking him extra fish throughout the day!

 | Update : 20th October 2012 - Ogogo along with Sophie, Jessica-Jane and Oates were released back into the wild on 16th October 2012 at Snettisham beach.
Ogogo weighed 34kg.
