Baikal Seal

Twycross? Hard to judge scale but they look dinky enough to be the Baikal Seals.
 
That *is* Twycross, those *are* Baikal Seals, and you *are* a lucky bastard for seeing them. :P

To be honest I saw them numerous times and never really appreciated them -they never seemed very interesting, they weren't very active and (in my experience) often seemed to spend a lot of time just sitting at the bottom of the pool. The were one of the least active/dynamic exhibits at the zoo.

Does that include the Phayre's Langur who - from what I have been told - spent the last half-decade of her life sprawled on the floor as if her life had already ended? :p

No!
She was far more animated than the seals, at least during visiting hours.

It does a bit, but the walls and rockwork are wrong - and if I recall rightly, the Oban pool has looked like that since the early 1990's.
