    Actu'zoo is reporting that the aquarium is due to receive bearded seals from Norway next year, also arriving should be ringed seals too.

    They have ringed seals already and the only other option would be getting them from Arnhem unless they go for wild-caught ones.

    Cat-Man's comment "This place doesn't half have some Pinnipeds" is how people from the UK say "This place certainly does have a lot of/a good selection of Pinnipeds" ;)
