Patient Updates

Cotopaxie was released after 77 days in our care.

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

Cotopaxie is in a pre release pool and doing great!

Already in a pre release pool, but still needs to gain a lot more weight before she is ready for the ocean.

She may be the smallest seal in her pool but she is quite the competitor! She is quickly gaining wait and enjoys sun bathing with her new friend Dawn.

Cotopaxie is now in a "big kid pool". She's small but sassy!

Cotopaxie is so close to eating fish on her own. Her feeders are confident that she will be on her own within the next day or two!
