We are always trying to come up with new enrichment ideas for the seals, and in fact, this was one of my goals for the year. Yesterday we introduced 10 moonjellies to the harbor seal exhibit, with the hopes that the seals would enjoy something that actively moved throughout the water column.
Most of the seals were resting, so they didn't pay any attention to the jellies at all, but they did attract Chuck's attention.
Check it out!
