On Thursday, the trainers provided pumpkins for the seals and sea lions to explore as a festive means of
enrichment. Exploring new textures and shapes and smells is a fun activity that keeps these marine mammals healthy and happy.
This is how the Leu the fur seal and Zoe the sea lion celebrated Halloween!
|
Leu, a rescued Northern fur seal |
|
Leu dove right into the activity, snarfing small fish and squid from the jack-o-lantern |
|
Leu even stuffed his whole head into the pumpkin,
and then tried to dribble the gourd into the water! |
|
Zoe, California sea lion |
|
Zoe did not enjoy playing with the pumpkins as much, until... |
|
... the pumpkin splashed into the water. Then there were some curious pumpkin bobbers! |
