Wednesday 11th May was Pebbles the seal's 23rd birthday! 

To celebrate Aquarist Ryan Tacklin arranged for Pebbles to have a separate encounter with him,
as the other three seals were kept occupied in the other pool. He froze some of their fish in a bowl to make her "fish-cake-pop".

She was hand-reared from 2 days old. Of the seals we have at the facility,
