Meet our Common Seals
Bo
Bo was born at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary on 29th June 2013, likely making his 35-year-old dad, the oldest Common seal to father a pup in Europe!
Bo is a very stubborn little seal and likes to test the patience of his trainers, often making it feel like he is training them!
While his favourite activity is retrieving toys from the water, Bo will occasionally, albeit reluctantly, come over for a quick belly rub!
Buddy
Buddy was born at the Sanctuary on 13th July 2014.
He's is always the first one to come and say hello and is very eager during in training sessions!
Buddy enjoys keeping the other seals in check, having a quick glance every now and again to make sure they are where they are supposed to be! Buddy’s favourite thing to do is to play with dog toys, he gets very excited throwing them around…but only when he thinks no one is watching.
Jarvis
Jarvis was rescued just off the coast of Porthminster, Cornwall in September 2016.
He was underweight and completely blind in both eyes. This visual impairment meant that he could not be released and earned him a permanent home here at the Sanctuary.
Jarvis is quite shy compared to the other seals but that doesn’t stop him excelling in his training. He enjoys getting piggy backs from the other seals and his favourite thing is Hawaiian music, especially the soundtrack to Lilo & Stitch!
