Does anyone know anything about Auckland's two sealions Scuttles and Kipper eg parents, offspring, where they came from etc...
 
they were both born at the zoo and share same father (who was also born in Auckland). they have different mothers tho,both born in Hawaii. Scuttles is now de-sexed but sired 1 pup before his 'de-manning' who now lives at Sea World.
 
Thank you so much for finding that out!

Where they related to Keel as well and what about sinka and kline. I am guessing Kline may be the mother of keel and kipper and scuttles is sinka's son?

Who was the father?
 
Scuttle is Sinka's son, born in 1991 (if memory serves correct). Sinka and Kline were both born at Sea Life Park in Hawaii in the early 1980's and were only 1-2 yrs old when they arrived at the Zoo.

The father was Liquorice who was transferred to another zoo (Zoo Negra in Malaysia... i think) with some of his offsrping in 1993. He was born at the zoo to Leadbelly and either Rosy or Millie ( the 3 came from the USA, other than that i don't know of their herritage, im guessing they were wild born)

Keel was the daughter of Liquorice and Kline... all of Sinka's and Kilne's offspring had the first letter of their name the same.
