Harbour Seal enclosure

This exhibit almost looks like a natural landscape along a seaside resort...wow. How many seals are at the zoo? Also, that minimal barrier would never work in a North American zoo due to the litigious nature of the public. Haha!
 
@snowleopard I'm not sure on exact number of seals, but photos from 2017 show atleast 7 seals in the exhibit. I should also have noted that they also have African Penguin in this exhibit, and there is nothing to stop them from accessing the seal area. I was shocked at the minimal barrier, but it certainly defines an immersive zoo exhibit :p
 
I thought this was one of the weirdest exhibits but it works somehow... common seals gliding around in the water while restful music plays in the background! I saw around half a dozen seals but difficult to count exactly as they surfaced and dived at different intervals.
