“Calamari in my hand---
Fancy name bestowed by man.
Kids will eat it with a bib---
To a seal it’s just a squid.”

The story of Loligo opalescens---aka Calamari or Market Squid
Volunteers at the Aquarium of the Pacific learned a lot about sustainable seafood last week during one of our regular daily updates that provide us with all sorts of interesting information. Eating sustainable seafood is good for your health and the health of our planet.
Lola is a cockatoo. How do I know this? Because Lola told me that he was. When program keeper Melissa had the bird on her arm and asked Lola “What are you?” Lola replied “COCKTOO!” Lola is one of the many program animals that our staff takes around the aquarium to interact with guests.
They’re undeniably entertaining, extremely resourceful, and have the densest fur of any animal on the planet! What animal am I talking about? Why, the sea otter (Enhydra lutris), of course!
Milo and Harpo are still working hard with their trainers on new behaviors and living it up in their home behind-the-scenes.
