Aquarium news
Old 09-08-2011

Have to start this thread with some sad news.
"Nuka" a 31yr old Hawaiian monk seal has been euthanized, leaving only one animal in the collection.
The aquarium had been offered a wild male seal, that was killing pups in the wild, but seem to have turned down the offer.
