Surplus California Sea Lions

[slipdxb]

Hi all,

Does anybody know which zoo/aquarium I can contact to acquire surlus California Sea Lions?

We need them to join existing zoos to create new gene pools.

Males must be intact!

Looking forward to your answers.

Thanks.

If you don't mind going the official route, the best place to start would probably be to contact the ESB studbook holder.

Californian sealion Zalophus californianus ESB RHENEN Gerard Meijer, RHENEN 1992

He'll be an employee of "Ouwehands Dierenpark" in Rhenen, the Netherlands.

Hi Jwer,

I have already contacted him! Thanks for the advice. He said he has nothing. But I am aware of the high number of births and current Sea Lions throughout European facilities.

There has to be some available also in non-EAZA parks. So any ideas on which ones will be great.

Regards,

Easiest would be to check this list;

And contact some of the "lesser known" parks on the list. Bet some would react...
