Vintage, undated postcard seen at a local antique store. The image shows an elephant seal and a sea lion being fed by a keeper, as guests watch on.
Great photo! I wonder if the elephant seal in question is the famous 'Reggie', who I believe arrived at the zoo in a trade with San Diego for a hippopotamus. The background looks like it may be when Ibex Island was still the 'Sea Mammal Grotto' before the 1950s.
