Patient Updates

Bob was released after 107 days in our care.

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

We caught up with "little Bob". And let's just say, he's not so little anymore and looking amazing.

Bob is getting closer and closer to release. Not much longer now! His favourite thing to do is nap while floating (or “bob”ing) on the surface of the water.

Bob is now in a small pool with his friend Sammy. He is competing well and loves to rest on his haul out, especially on a warm day!
