Happy birthday to Satara! She was one of the first harbor seals ever to join the Ocean Connections family when she arrived from the Indianapolis Zoo back in 1997. Satara fills us with joy and laughter daily with her sassy personality and playful demeanor! 🥳🎉🎁

Join us in wishing our harbor seal, Mango, a very happy birthday! As a pup, she stranded multiple times and was deemed non-releasable by the U.S. government. We are so grateful to provide a forever home for such a beautiful, charismatic lady. Happy 14th birthday, Mango!

Sea lions, like Talise, have a hydrodynamic body shape that is key for their quick and agile swimming. Their torpedo-like structure allows them to cut through the water with minimal drag helping them catch their daily supply of fish and avoid predators!

Nothing like a Saturday serenade! Our animals enjoy various types of enrichment on a daily basis. This provides mental and physical stimulation by adding items to their environment that encourage them to use their senses!
