Common Name: Harbor Seal

Scientific Name: Phoca vitulina

Birth Date: February 23, 1992

My Story: Baby is harbor seal royalty, born on February 23, 1992 in California and affectionately known as “The Queen.” Even after eye surgeries, Baby is blind but she has never let that slow her down and has spent decades inspiring everyone around her with her calm, patient, and intelligent demeanor, demonstrating to all what it means to lead by example. She was the seal who helped launch the swim with seals program at Miami Seaquarium, teaching humans how she liked to interact with them.  Though she may turn up her nose at squid, her heart and spirit are treasured by all who know her. Baby is a living legend — wise, loving, and unforgettable.

Out of an abundance of caution, our newest animal family members are currently unviewable while they complete a 30-day quarantine. This time allows them to settle in comfortably and helps keep both them and our other animals safe. We are so excited for you to see our family when they become viewable!
