Minnesota Zoo Minnesota Zoo News

My last visit was two or three years ago, and at the time they had 5.

 

If they have lost any, they have not been transparent about it. I would have to see if I can find the last MMIR I have and see what the date is and how many they had then.

EDIT:
As of the last MMIR I have dated April 2019, they still had 5.

Here are all of the seals living as of that time in MMIR:

NOA0005646 Minnesota Zoological Garden - ALIVE
NOA0005651 Minnesota Zoological Garden - ALIVE
NOA0005653 Minnesota Zoological Garden - ALIVE
NOA0005654 Minnesota Zoological Garden - ALIVE
NOA0005656 Minnesota Zoological Garden - ALIVE

 

Agreed, I can't find any news about them losing any, but also found it strange only 3 were listed on their website.

 

I guess going off this, but maybe a couple were retired and are now held behind the scenes?

 

Seems weird that they would stop listing them for that, seeing there were never more than 2 on-exhibit at a time anyway.

 

Here is an article about the zoo's potential project to repurpose the abandoned monorail track as a pedestrian trail:

I just want to say, I love Minnesota Zoo and find Como somewhat boring, tbh.
