FUN WITH SEA LIONS | Hugh 
A warm sunny day, a playful sea lion and a Frisbee in hand adds up to a lot of fun! Check out the video of our staff having some fun with the Aquarium of the Pacific sea lions last summer.

A Playful Minke Joins the Pod | Kera
A few weeks back we switched from Blue Whale Cruises to Dolphin and Sea Life Cruises and full of dolphins it has been! This is a time where we’re waiting for the gray whales to get here after the blues have left for the season. Although gray whales are still a few weeks out, there is still lots to see out there, including playful minke whales.

Tactile Training | Hugh
In Nature documentaries when a researcher wants to physically examine a large wild animal you often times see them shoot a dart containing a sedative to immobilize the creature or physically restraining them with nets or ropes. Here at the Aquarium of the Pacific we have a different approach. We gain their trust so they allow us to physically examine them without fear and without the need of restraints.
