As some know we recently got two stranded seal pups into the rehab center. The first one that come into us was a young female Cape fur seal, who we since named Sally. Sally was a gentle soul with a “what ever” attitude. She was always curious as to what was happening and even “Supervised” our penguin feeding. She had excellent manners and when swim time was over she would happily follow us to their housing.
The next pup came in a day later. It was a little male who we called Samson. He was the polar opposite to Sally. You could say Sampson was a hell raiser, who would sit but the glass and bark at every one that went past and if he ever got the chance he would give us a nip to just remind you that he was in control. At the end of swim time, was a different story all together, where he would taunt us by coming into the shallow area only to jump over the net and swim in the deep end.
Some good news is that they have since left us and are now happily swimming back in their home waters around Robberg.
Another part of our job is taking the cheetahs for the daily walks around the perimeter of the property. They love their walks and when their harnesses come out, they are like giant kittens. The main thing to remember here is that we don’t walk the cheetahs but they walk us!!
Till next time stay tuned to who all we have in the rehab and possibly some releases coming soon!! But till then you know the drill.
STAY AWESOME DAMIT!!
