Patient Updates

Yoda was released after 89 days in our care.

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

Yoda is quickly gaining weight and is almost ready to be released!

Yoda likes to pretend that he’s never been fed. He is the most eager seal in his pool and always greets his caretakers at the pool entrance. He is very vocal and demands fish 24/7!

Yoda is as vocal as ever and easy to spot (or hear) in his pool. He is always the first one at the gate when his caretakers stop by with buckets of fish.

After a whole lot of practice Yoda has finally learned to eat fish on his own. He will soon be moved to a pool where he can learn to compete with other seals.
