Rocky Shores Map

June 5th, 2010.

There are 3 walruses, 3 sea otters, 5 harbour seals (in what used to be the beluga whale tank) and probably around 15 puffins in this section of the zoo. The Rocky Shores exhibit originally opened in 1982 with 3 walruses, 4 bottlenosed dolphins, sea lions, seals and sea birds.

@snowleopard: Do you know of any information regarding the dolphins?

Sorry but I have no knowledge in regards to the dolphins. Most of my information on the Point Defiance Zoo comes from their slim but fact-filled history book that was published a few years ago, as well as from my occasional visits.

Big harbor seal tank

If you check snowleopard's post above - that tank was built for Belugas, hence the size!

Well regardless, thanks for posting that dolphins were once here. I'll have to do some research.
