Here are some pictures taken the other day of Lana creating an original work of art. She has been trained to hold a square object that holds a paint brush and moves it back and forth on a canvas. Each seal has their own style. Lana tends to do big long brush strokes. Keep your eyes out for video of a painting session in the future!

This picture, titled "Man Diving," was created by a 12-year old. Impressed? Now, what if we told you it was created by our 12 year-old male Atlantic harbor seal, Chacoda? Bet you are impressed now. Painting is a behavior that 5 of our 7 harbor seals know and each animal has developed their own unique style. Since seals are colorblind, the trainers will pick out the colors, but the animals create the masterpiece.
