Ernie was released after 69 days in our care.

You can see the list of all animals released at this release in the release record.

Ernie has been moved to a different pre release pool with seals that are as big as he is. He is a great competitor and is almost ready for release.

Did someone say fish?! Ernie is always hauled out and waiting for his fish at feed time. He is always hungry and a great competitor!

Ernie's being described as a 'genius", He figured out how to eat fish on his own in record time. He also has huge eyes!

Ernie is bright and alert and gaining weight. All good signs!
