1st spotted seal born at city park
Print Edition
A SPOTTED seal was born at Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park in the Pudong New Area yesterday, the first spotted seal born at the park.
Two of the park’s adult spotted seals mated last February, and two animal keepers were assigned to closely monitor the mother-to-be, according to the park operator.
“Seals are very timid, so a natural environment was created to facilitate a smooth delivery of the baby,” said Zhu Haojie, a seal keeper.
The mother’s problem-free delivery took a little over an hour. She is breastfeeding her healthy baby. In three or four weeks, the baby is expected to swim and live independently, at which point park visitors will be able to see him.
