Jenny Montague, Marine Mammal Trainer at New England Aquarium in Boston, Massachusetts, and her colleagues share tales of daily life working with harbor seals and fur seals.
During the course of the year our harbor seals and fur seals receive several vaccines. Training the seals to accept these injections voluntarily takes time and lots of patience. Watch the video of Amelia receiving her West Nile Virus vaccine and you'll see that the result of all that time and patience is an animal that deals with needles better than most people that I know, myself included.
Bravo Amelia! Well Done!
