pinnipeds

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.

There are quite a few inventories and databases that keep track of individual captive animals of a certain species within zoological facilities, such as Cetabase for example. However, I have still not been able to find one for sea lions or Pinnipeds in general. Does anyone know if such a...

Pusa sibirica - just scanning some old photos and thought these might be of interest

They keep South American fur seals in my homezoo. I really like these animals and I even adopted one in my homezoo. Because there are not so many South American fur seals in Europe, I wanted to find out how many and which ones currently live and have lived in Europe. I sent an email to...

Don't know if a thread exists for this but I'm wondering which zoos and aquariums worldwide have which pinniped species

It occurred to me that most (if not all) UK seal sanctuary enclosures for resident seals do not have holding pens or a means to separate the animals (unless they stick a temporary fence through the pool, e.g. for pregnancies). I thought it was regulation for zoos to have this, as all sea lions...

Hi folks, I'm hoping this forum might be the quickest (and easiest) way to find out :) Could you help me list which Zoos (or wildlife parks, animal collections, whatever you want to call them) house pinnipeds in the UK? Get writing :p Cheers Lin
