Behind the Scenes at the Harbor Seals Exhibit
We keep careful records about eating habits, behavior and more for each seal.
The Aquarium’s harbor seals eat between 6 and 12 pounds of fish and squid every day, for a total of between 2,000 and 6,000 calories!
Seals are very curious and love to play. The fishicles shown in the photo below are a particular favorite. The trainers freeze chunks of fish and squid inside cubes of ice, and the seals eagerly destroy the ice to get at the tasty treats inside.
