Katie and Kerry's Day

Hi,

So far today we have been very busy! We had to move Ronnie from the big pool back to the seal kennels as she was not eating as she usually does and we need to keep a close eye on her. Mango was then left in the pool on his own so... we decided to move Silver (a new Grey) up to the pool to keep him company. So far they are getting on like a house on fire!

Arin (a new grey) has recently had an operation to remove a digit on his right flipper so we are monitoring him closely as it looks very sore! Despite this he is still eating lots of fish! Fingers crossed he will make a full recovery.

Lyndsey (a really tiny Grey) has also been in the wars. She has a tuft of white hair on her back which really shows how young she is (probably about 2 and a half weeks). Lynn, the animal manager, cleaned wounds which were discovered on her lip and her tummy this morning. She is very curious though and her injuries don't seem to be bothering her that much-she is already trying to take whole fish on her own.

We have also been carrying out less exciting but no less important jobs such as cleaning up the leaves from the walk ways and cleaning the tree bog (an environmentally friendly toilet that pongs a bit)!

We have to go back to the seals now as they Greys are very noisy and demand 100% of our attention!

Write soon again,

Katie and Kerry
