Doug has gotten so big that he is almost ready to be released! He is very curious of everything around him and is always at the front of his pool when its feed time.
Doug is doing well and is now in a pool with his new friend David.
Doug’s eyes are still healing but he is doing well in fish school. He has an extra large tub for deeper swims and he loves his rock and kelp enrichment.
Doug's our miracle seal! His recovery was beautiful to watch, and he continues to make progress. He's currently got one of the biggest tubs on site and is enjoying extended swim.
Doug has started weaning! He is a little unsure of his fish so far but will soon grow to love them.
Doug is doing well and his eye sight is improving. He is still being fed formula but gaining weight fast and loves his swims, especially his kelp enrichment.
