Patient Updates

Freeman was released after 65 days in our care.

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

Freeman has grown so much! He is in a pre release pool and eating so many fish each day that he’ll be ready for the wild in no time.

Freeman has now graduated fish school and is in a pool with two new friends! He immediately befriended Ona who he loves to chase around his pool and cuddle up next to on their haul out.

Freeman has been moved onto a pool and is a good boy (we're quoting his caretakers here). He likes to chase Ona and Darby.

Freeman has just been introduced to fish and while he is a little unsure of them, he is doing great during his first couple days of weaning.
