Under the Water


At the Seal Center in Mombetsu.

Water of the pools was exchanged yesterday.

we could clearly see swiming seals under the water today.

Visiters were happy !


Head of this standing seal is on the water surface.

When a seal swim in water, I think it become upside-down.


This seal was taking a nap on Feeding and Explain Time.

He was using staff's foot as pillow !

This child spotted seal is 1 year old.

She was brought to the Seal Center last May.
