Rescue seal turns 50

[Daktari JG]

probably a record for a pinniped


Seal pup once rescued on a British beach hits the big 5-0. Sheba may be the oldest seal in captivity

evidently hard to teach an old cow new tricks

The Henry Vilas Zoo had a 50-year old harbor seal named Betty who passed away in 2019.

Good to see pinnipeds living such long lives.
