#144: Jenny answers marine mammal training questions in The Boston Globe

If you're a marine mammal fan, today is a good day to pick up The Boston Globe. The Aquarium's own Jenny Montague is featured in the G-Force interview section. She's already written about how she got her start training marine mammals for this blog, but this interview has some new insights, such as who's Jenny's favorite seal to work with right now and a sneak preview of Jenny's upcoming Aquarium lecture. It's free and open to the public, but you better register here before it fills up!

#93: Chacoda featured in the Boston Globe




All of our recent posts on toothbrushing seems to have attracted some attention, because on Wednesday, Feb. 4, Chacoda and I did an interview with the Boston Globe to celebrate National Children's Dental Health Month (it is also National Pet Dental Health Month).




While Chuck did seem a little distracted by the camera at times, he was great while I brushed his teeth and the photographer was able to get some really great shots. Not only did the story make the front page of Boston.com that afternoon, but it was also featured on the front page of the Boston Globe's Metro section on Thursday!

#2: Channel 7 Visit



Good afternoon everybody,
My name is Patty and I am one of the marine mammal trainers at the New England Aquarium! We had a very exciting morning at our northern fur seal exhibit today. Dylan Dreyer from Channel 7 News filmed her "Where in
New England?" segment with us! Cordova and Ursula, two of our seals, were featured throughout the news showing off their talents and doing behaviors with Dylan. The animals did an amazing job, especially having to wake up at 5 am! They were superstars through the two hours of filming and never seemed to mind the large camera and lighting that was set up. Great job girls!
