First-Ever Sea Lion Pup Born at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium

Exciting news! Our first-ever sea lion pup was born on June 6. Mom, Eloise, and the young pup are doing well. She has been nursing, growing, moving, vocalizing, and getting accustomed to her care team behind the scenes. The 17-pound pup will remain behind the scenes as she continues to bond with her mom before joining the other sea lions and harbor seals in the public viewing habitat later this summer. Keepers will develop prospective names for the pup, and guests can vote for their favorite later this month.
