    Longleat usually have two or three sealion pups born each year at the Lake.

    Chessington Zoo/Amusement Park do well with them too- four pups born some years, their sealion group & display is one of the largest in the UK.

    All these pups normally arrive very close together in June/July time, indicating they have adjusted to a set breeding season in the UK>
