Over the last two weeks the Northcoast Marine Mammal Center has welcomed 15 Elephant Seal “weaners.” Weaners are Elephant Seals who have been ‘weaned’ from their mothers’ milk, still may not be familiar with how to catch fish or even know what fish are.
Weaner Elephant Seals currently in residence in the Center’s outdoors pens include:
Violet (Point Saint George rescue)
Walter
Oscar
Cody
Jelly Bean
Andy Irons
Buttercup
