Common Name: California Sea Lion

Scientific Name: Zalophus californianus

Parents: Rigby (Miami Seaquarium)/Foxie (Miami Seaquarium)

Birth Date: July 20, 2011

My Story: Raleigh is a spirited and adventurous sea lion with a love for giant buoys, icy treats, and playful adventures with trainers and friends. Raleigh’s father, Foxie, is Kilo’s brother, making him the nephew of Kilo! He carries his Uncle Kilo’s calm, confident demeanor while adding his own spark of curiosity and playful energy. Athletic, clever, and endlessly social, Raleigh engages everyone around him with charm and joy, whether racing through the water, exploring new games, or interacting with his friends. Smart and quick to learn, Raleigh is a sea lion whose heart, personality, and family legacy make him a delight to watch and a joy to know.

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!
