Harp Seal at Detroit Zoo's Arctic Ring of Life
Old 30-08-2012

Was looking at pictures of Detroit's amazing "Arctic Ring of Life" exhibit complex tonight, and I was just wondering if they still held any harp seals in their collection? I also seem to recall hooded seals at one point (or am I just dreaming LOL) ?

I believe they still do. I don't know the history of all the seals, but one is blind and was from Mystic Aquarium after being found stranded.

Pequot the blind harp seal is indeed still at the Detroit Zoo.
